Joshua Gorrell Obituary

Joshua James Gorrell

Joshua James Gorrell, 49, of Findlay, entered into the presence of the Lord Thursday, July 3, 2025.

Josh was born July 1, 1976, to James Edwin and Rebecca Lou (Wittenmyer) Gorrell of Findlay. He graduated from Liberty Benton High School in 1995. On April 17, 1999, he married Lindsey Wilson of Benton Ridge. Together they had two sons, Abe and Race, and they both survive. He is also survived by his mother, Rebecca Gorrell; and his sister, Stacey (Scott) Moyer, all of Findlay. Also surviving are his nieces and nephews.

His father, James Gorrell, preceded him in death.

Josh was a member of Church of the Living God and was baptized June 29, 2025. He had a fierce love for his family and friends. Whether he was hunting, golfing, lending a helping hand, or designing a new outdoor space, he poured his heart into everything he did. As the owner of Gorrell Hardscapes, he created beautiful outdoor kitchens, patios, fireplaces, and landscapes-many designed from his own hand-drawn plans. He also worked at UPS in Findlay.

Visitation for family and friends will be from 1-8 p.m. Sunday, July 13, 2025, at Kirkpatrick-Behnke Funeral Home, 500 Lima Avenue, Findlay.

Burial will be at Maple Grove Cemetery,
