We are deeply saddened to say that our sweet boy, Joshua Timothy Gifford, 25, passed away June 6, 2021, in Kearny, AZ. Joshua was born on August 21, 1995, in Valencia California.

Josh had a great love of punk rock and metal music which showed through in his years of shredding on the guitar.

Before Josh could even walk, he found a passion for riding quads with his Papa and Gran. Any chance he could get, you would find him out in the desert (or sometimes, just in the backyard) ripping it up on his quad.

Josh was a self-proclaimed, "Rockhound." He spent countless hours in the desert searching for cool rocks and he was on the constant hunt for gold!

Joshua was a beloved son, grandson, and nephew. He was fiercely devoted to his sister Chloe, brother Miles and cousins Aidan, Logan and Luke as well as a great friend to everyone who knew him. He was so loving, and had such a kind, gentle heart. He will be forever missed and loved.

His family held a private gathering to honor his memory. They got together to share stories, listen to music, and remember him.

In lieu of flowers, his family requests that donations be made to Autism Speaks in honor of his 13 year old little brother, Miles.

Josh Outskees. Peace.
