Always the life of the party, craziest in the room and had an infectious smile that would light up the darkest room. Hardworking was an understatement when it came to not only his job but being the best Girl Dad ever. He had a love for music, motorcycles, tattoos and most of all his deep friendships created over the years. Although he was rough around the edges at times, he was unapologetically himself, which was a trait everyone cherished most. Even though his time here on earth was cut short, he left unforgettable memories to everyone he met and will be missed tremendously.
He was preceded in death by his father, Merlin David Ivie; grandparents, Aaron Junior Ward and Macy Janette Ward and C.C. Ivie Jr and Joyce Juanita Ivie. Joshua is survived by his mother, Kathleen Ivie; beloved wife of 8 years, Kelsey Ivie; daughters, Cheyenne, Oaklynn, and Aurora Ivie; fur son, “Boss”; brothers, David Aaron Ivie, Chris Platzer and wife Tammy; sisters, Michelle Denise Ivie, Anna Belle Pigott and husband William; numerous aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, and many friends.
