Joshua Chad Jonason

I had the good fortune of being Josh’s first wife; although there were many times I saw it as a misfortune. We were very young, and when you throw two children into the mix, it’s a recipe for disaster. We just couldn’t make it work. Through the years, we struggled to see eye to eye, but managed to get things figured out along the way. For the last several years, Josh and I were more than just cordial; we became friends. Wishing each other happy birthday, mother’s/father’s day and checking in from time-to-time, trading jabs and light-hearted teasing. I can’t express enough how grateful I am for being able to put our pain and anger aside and learning how to co-parent together. We may not have been destined for eternal happiness together, but we made two wonderful children and became dear friends. I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Josh, and this loss will forever weigh heavy on us. Josh, I promise you, I’ll do whatever I can to continue raising the kids to the best of my ability and I’ll never ever forget what you told me…

Josh was my favorite I.T. guy at LSS. It seemed as if he had the perfect amount of patience, some witty joke, a little education about his “meat” way of life, a story to share of his family, and a love for Jesus each time we visited! My prayers are with you all today, and in the days ahead.

Staci and family,

I’ll always remember the fun that we had at the lakes when we all got together!
I’m so sorry for your loss. May God guide you and comfort you in the days ahead and always.
Love ya!

Prayers from Minot. We will not be there in person, but we will be there in thought and spirit. May God give you the strength to see you through this incredible loss. We love you Stacey and family.

Deepest condolences to the family.

Staci our prayers are with you during these hard times and Joshua is in his peace . It was very nice to know him it the Lake Party’s very nice gentleman.

My condolences to the family and loved ones of Josh’s. We were high school sweethearts and attended 2 proms together. We cruised the streets of DL in his white Camaro that he LOVED! As much as my grandparents and I tried to turn him into a Vikings fan- we never won that debate. Josh was always kind, sweet, and an adoring friend! Although it was 27 years ago- some of the memories seem like yesterday. May Josh Rest In Peace and may his family and loved ones cherish their memories and Godspeed your healing. Much love, Amy (Walker) Pedersen

I had the privilege to cross paths with Josh when I worked at LSSND. He not only knew a lot about the technology world, but was so willing & kind hearted to help out this technically challenged girl & helped me out of many binds! He never made you feel stupid for asking the obvious questions! He radiated love, kindness and patience to all who knew him & you had no doubt the love he had for Jesus! May God hold you & your family in the palm of his hands & may you feel Gods arms wrapped around you at this time. My condolences and prayers for you all!

You may now rest my friend. You will forever be missed.

Grace and peace be with the family. May you experience Gods love surround you during this time of loss
