Joshua Villanova

Our wonderful son, Joshua “Josh” Boyer Villanova, passed away on August 8, 2026, at the age of 42 after a horrendous fight with cancer. He is survived by his parents, Jon and Kathy, and sister, Krystal. He is and was a beloved son, brother, and friend. Josh was known for his dependability, loyalty, integrity, humor, and generosity. Josh filled our lives with laughter, curiosity, and endless energy. He loved music, football, hunting, fishing, his ‘67 Camaro and spontaneous road trips with friends. His kindness reached everyone he met, and he never left without making someone smile or giving his last dollar to anyone in need.

Family and friends are invited to join us in celebrating Josh’s life on Sunday August 16 at 4:00 pm at Crosslink Church 3445 Old Hillsborough Rd, Mebane, NC 27302. We will forever remember his warmth, his hugs, generous heart, protective nature, and love for life and family.
