Joshua Lee Griffin
September 14th, 1978 - April 22nd, 2025

Josh left us and went back to heavenly father on April 22nd of 2025 due to a tragic accident. He was born on September 14th, 1978 to Randy Griffin and Annette Bridges.

Josh had an amazing 46 years and was surrounded by so many people that loved and cared about him. He was the hardest working person you could ever meet. No matter what circumstances, Josh would help anyone in need no matter what time of the day.

He met the love of his life Sarah Griffin in 2002. They met in Escalante, UT while she was working at the Prospector Restaurant. He would always tell people that he knew he was going to marry her because she was a good cook. Josh and Sarah were married May 17, 2008. As Sarah says, “He was and always will be her best friend and the love of her life.”

In those 23 years they had two daughters Lexi and Josslyn Griffin. He would always tell his girls he didn’t need a boy because he had girls that loved to do all the things he loved to do. Josh was the absolute best GIRL DAD and you could always find him at their volleyball games, track meets, and dance competitions. No matter what he always made sure to be there. Anywhere Josh went he was always bragging about his girls.

Josh and Danny worked together for many many years. If you asked each of them they would say that they were each other's best friends.

Josh had so many nieces and nephews that he loved and cared about. He was always willing to do whatever was needed for them. Josh was considered the fun uncle because he was down to go hunting, riding dirtbikes, or snowboarding.

In this last year he welcomed a new grandbaby Brooks Jolley Packard. Brooks was Josh’s absolute best friend and he was so happy to have a boy in the family. Grandpa was Brooks’ favorite hands down, as soon as he walked through the door Brooks would get the biggest smile on his face and reach for him.

Josh is survived by: wife: Sarah Griffin; parents: Annette and Russell Bridges; grandparents: Lamar Jolley and Joyce Jolley; daughters: Lexi and Josslyn Griffin; siblings: Jen, Ang, Tom, Des (Tony), Joe (Katie), Dani (Gordon), Shay (Rory); many nieces and nephews; grandson: Brooks.

Josh is preceded in death by: father: Randy Griffin; niece: Oaklee Sidwell; and many other loved ones.

Josh, we will miss you, immensely. You were our “go-to” when life got rough, you were our sanity and comfort when we needed it the most. You were always someone we could count on. We love you so much.
