Joshua Lee Rose, 29, of Owensboro, died Sunday, March 13, 2016.
Josh was born Oct. 15, 1986 in South Africa to Michael and Laura Fabian Rose. Josh was first and foremost a wonderful father with a big heart and a big smile. He was known to give generously to others in need and provide a place for the less fortunate to stay. Josh was a great football player and hard worker who loved anything outdoors whether hunting or fishing or taking his daughter to the park frequently. He knew how to ask the same question in 10 different ways until he got an answer and if you could drive it or ride it, Josh did.

Survivors include his parents, Mike and Laura Rose; his brother, Matt Rose; daughter, Skylar Rose and her mother, Jillian Howard all of Owensboro; grandmas, Maxine Rose of Richmond, KY. and Shirley Fabian of Omaha, NE.; many, many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
