About Joshua

Joshua Clyde Roudebush, 30, of Clearbrook, MN died on Tuesday, February 13, 2024, at Orr, Minnesota.

Joshua was born on August 28, 1993, at Birmingham, Alabama, the son of Russell and Elizabeth (Stone) Roudebush. He grew up in Auburn, Washington and then moved to the Hope, North Dakota area. He finished his high school in Job Corps in Minot, North Dakota. During his time there, he became certified in welding.

He returned to the Fargo area and became a father. His son, Blaiden was born in 2014, and he loved being a dad. Josh had many difficult times in his young life, which eventually led him to the Mustard Seed Program in Clearbrook, Minnesota. The time he spent there changed his life completely. He found a career he wanted to pursue, as an electrician.

The biggest change came with his deep love for Jesus. Jesus changed everything. He had so much hope for the future. Jesus was his rock.

Josh met the love of his life, Cheryl Hutchens, and they were married on June 24, 2023. He beamed with even more love and joy; she was his everything. There was a beautiful strong unity between them. He worked hard on everything he did, always wanting to learn more. Anyone that knew Josh, knew he had a great sense of humor. He loved deeply and cared about everyone, always willing to help or give a big “Josh hug.” We will miss those hugs, his smile and infectious laugh. Josh touched many lives, leaving an impact on everyone he met. Josh wanted everyone to follow Jesus because Jesus had saved him.
