Joshua V. Hart-Wood’s Obituary




Josh and Brandy




Brandy Kapp writes:


“I just wanted to let you know that Joshua V Hart-Wood --Lester Wood’s son, my fiancé, passed away Friday night, July 1st 2011. He was in a severe motorcycle accident down in Belmont, North Carolina and was life flighted to Charlotte NC. My family and I are very heart broken at this point in time--Josh was only 27 years old! I miss him very much and I wish he was coming home. This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in life.

I still wasn’t over Chic passing away a little more than a year ago, and I had to do it all over again. I held Joshua's hand and let him go to heaven.


My daughter is heartbroken as well and my 2 month old son will never physically know who daddy was. But, I’ll try my best to make sure the kids are raised knowing how great of a man Joshua was.”

Our hearts go out to Brandy and Emma and little Adin, and all of Josh’s family and friends. Below is his obituary:

Brandy,

Words do not seem to express how sorry I am for your family losing your Josh.

I will be thinking of you this week, and praying for you all.

Love you!

Oh, Brandy, how heartbreaking! I'm so sorry for you and your kids, and for everyone else in Josh's family.

Just a couple months ago, we were so excited to welcome a new Adin and I imagined Josh telling him and Emma stories about his namesakes. Now we'll all have to do it for him.

Holding you all in love,

Susan
