Joshua David Wiesen, 32, passed on Friday, July 10, 2026, after his lifelong battle with Huntington's disease. He was a friend to anyone in need, a fun-loving uncle, a devoted brother, and cherished son. He was kind and compassionate, fiercely loyal, and all at the same time a jokester to his core.

Josh was born prematurely in Greenville, MI to Matthew (Matt) and Margaret Wiesen on June 22, 1994. This was the start of Josh's "shock-value" approach to life. He went to school at Oakfield Baptist Academy through 3rd grade and Grattan Academy through 5th grade before moving to the Upper Peninsula with his family. In those elementary years, Josh's life was known for many activities varying from fishing, swimming and camping to riding four-wheelers and dressing in the weirdest of ways to school. At the age of 10, Josh lost his mother, Margaret, to Huntington's disease.

After moving to the Upper Peninsula, Josh continued to enjoy fishing and four-wheeling and added hunting to his list of things he enjoyed. During his middle school and high school years, he perfected his art of pranks and jokes as he practiced them on his brothers, Ryan and Matthew. He graduated from Ontonagon Junior-Senior High School in 2012 with the intention of going into the Marine Corps. Before Josh was to go to boot camp for the Marines, he ended up getting a job at Extreme Tool in Wakefield, MI as a grinder. He worked there for a few years and worked a few other shorter stints before eventually being co-founder of Red River Machining in Ontonagon, MI with his father, Matt.

Josh is survived by his nieces and nephews Jessa, Adam, Theo, and Leah; brothers Matthew and Ryan and sister-in-law Justina; stepmother Kandice; grandparents Dave (Karen), Terri (Scott) and Sharon; aunts and uncles Heather, Erin, Heather (Jake), Sean, Keith (Erica); cousins Jarrod, Janelle (Charles), Gwen, Jace, Wayne, Hadrian, and Alexis.

Josh was preceded in death by his mother Margaret, father Matt, his uncles Troy and Jeff, his grandfather Larry and grandmother Debbie.

A memorial service will be held at 900 River Street in Ontonagon, Michigan on July 25, 2026 at 11 am EST. Chaplain Matt Agee will officiate the service. Arrangements have been made by Cane Funeral Home.
