Joshua L. Bockhop

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Joshua Bockhop, who left this world far too soon on October 23, 2025.

Josh was deeply loved by his family and friends and will be remembered for his warmth, humor, and the joy he brought into the lives of everyone who knew him. He had a special way of connecting with others — always ready with a smile, a quick joke, or a bit of good-natured sarcasm that could light up any room.

He will be forever missed by his mother Sarah Graffin, father Roger Bockhop (Kathy Bockhop), sisters, Jessica Bockhop-Schwoerer (Brian Schwoerer), Olivia Krahn-Bockhop, Hannah Kuehn (Matt Kuehn), and brother Jake Haase. Along with family members and close friends who shared an unbreakable bond with him. Their memories together — the laughter, the late-night talks, and the countless weekends spent side by side — will be cherished forever.

He is preceded in death by his stepfather Brian Graffin, grandparents, Dr. James & Donna Lomas and Leo & Ruth Bockhop.

Though his time with us was far too brief, Josh’s legacy will live on through his loved ones and especially through his son Bryce Bockhop, who will grow up knowing the love, kindness, and strength that defined him.

The family takes comfort in knowing he is watching over them from above. His memory will remain forever in our hearts.

A celebration of Josh’s life will be held at a later date for family and friends to attend and honor his memory.

Until we meet again, beloved son, brother, and father — your love will guide us always.

P.S. Hopefully you're having fun hanging out with Brian and Grandpa Lomas watching sports (Packers won last night by the way against the Steelers) Yay! And playing some long overdue cards with grandpa and grandma Bockhop.
