Joshua Robert Lacourse

Joshua Robert LaCourse August 3, 1988 - May 1, 2020 Joshua R. LaCourse Passed away peacefully in his home at the age of 31, in Toledo, Ohio on Friday Morning May 1, 2020 Josh was the son of Darrell Jay LaCourse and Tracy Ann (Carmin) LaCourse Joshua was born and stayed in Ohio, until his family moved to North Port, Florida in 2000 In 2017, Joshua moved back to Toledo, Ohio and resided until his heavenly departure. In 31 years, Josh has changed the lives of everyone who was lucky enough to know him. If anyone was one of those fortunate people. Know that success in life in not determined by the size of your pocket, rather by the amount of compassion and empathy you give to all that is around you. Josh lived a simple life. His belongings where nothing that would be fought over. He possessed the sentimental tokens that would offer us comfort in the years to come. As If we needed something to keep his memory alive. we knew we saw him as much more than what he portrayed himself to be. It was not until these recent days, that was shown how great the impact he had made on this world. Messages started coming in from people we never knew existed, telling us how much our son has affected their lives, confessing how much our son was genuinely loved and admired. “He was never more than a phone call away” He cared for others before himself, which contrasted with the Hogwarts house he identified with. As an avid reader, and fan of the Harry Potter series, he believed that Slytherin was his chosen house. If anyone is well versed in Hogwarts lore, believe that he, because of his character, would have excelled in every house, as he unmistakably did in his own house with us. Joshua was much too young to be taken from this world. But just like greats that died too young, I do not believe we ever deserved such an amazing Son, Brother, Nephew, Grandson…Friend. He was truly a genuine, wholehearted person, that was not shy of being completely honest with you and was never afraid to openly express his love for those around him. His hugs were true to his feelings for that person, full of strength, love and passion. He will always be remembered, loved, and cherished. Joshua was the pot of gold at the end of his rainbow, this young wizard will rest in peace. Josh is survived by his Parents, Darrell and Tracy LaCourse (Carmin), his brothers Craig LaCourse, Stephen LaCourse and sister Siarra Rutkowski (LaCourse); his Aunt and Uncles; Christine (Greg) Paterwich-Taylor; Jim Carmin, Mike and Julie LaCourse, Jeff and Sylvia LaCourse And David Weber.
