Joshua “Josh” Daniel Paine (1982-2024)
Joshua “Josh” Paine, 42, was tragically taken from us on Thurs., May 23, 2024 in his hometown of Spokane, WA. Josh was a loving husband, father, son, uncle, cousin and friend who loved traveling, spending summers at the lake property, snowmobiling through the snowy mountains, spending time with family, laughing at a good comedy skit, talking politics and watching Discovery & History shows.
Josh attended Regal Elementary, Shaw Middle School, Rogers High School, Mead High School and Medicine Wheel Academy before he continued on to get his college education in Carpentry & Cabinetry and then Biomedical Equipment Technician.
Josh worked as a Clinical Engineer/Biomed at Providence Sacred Heart where he dedicated his days to being an unsung Hero maintaining medical equipment to ensure patient care was top notch. Josh was the hardest working person ever!! He could not sit still for long and was always finding a project to work on or watching/listening to something that increased his knowledge base.
He is survived by his wife Leslie; daughter Shayla; fur-baby Kash; mother Lori; and father Bert; as well as many brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Josh was preceded in death by his grandmother June; uncles Rob and Darrell; and stepmom Barb.
Funeral services will be held at 10am on Sat., June 1 at Riplinger Funeral Home, 4305 N. Division, in Spokane, followed by a graveside burial at Fairmount Memorial Park. After Joshua is laid to rest a Celebration of Life will be held at Hill House Event Center.
