Son, Brother, Uncle and Friend. Joshua is now playing music in God's Angel Band. He is with his Grandmother and Great-Grandmother and they are holding him in their arms. At last he has some peace! No more pain, shaking and trouble. He was planning on attending Pensacola Jr. College in November and was trying to start a band with his friends. He was a dreamer, a loving Son, he loved animals and he had a gentle heart. He will be missed by family and friends but he will never be forgotten. His memory will live on in all of our hearts. He had many dreams that he tried so hard to make a reality but life was just too hard for him and God wanted him to come home too soon for his family but right on time for him.
He graduated from Tate High School in 1993 after the family moved from Tuscola, IL in 1980.
He loved his two Nieces Tara and Katie and had a special spot in his heart for Michael, who shared his love for video games, bike riding and throwing the football in his Dad's yard.
He leaves his Mother: Cheryl Mae Pangburn Elder and Father: Mike Elder with holes in their hearts but hope in their souls that he has found the peace he needed so desperately. He leaves his Brother: John, who loved him and his Grandparents: Myron and Nola Pangburn; his Uncle Kenneth and Aunt Mary and their families. He leaves Marcia and Dewayne Cook and their son as well as Tom and Susan Skinner and their sons. He leaves Mike (Linda) Pangburn and John (Diane) Pangburn and their families. He leaves special friends Adam, Kirk, Jeff, and Drew and so many more that it hurts to write names. He leaves all of these people to walk with the Lord. The family is sorry if anyone's name was left out but the list would be too large to print. Joshua leads the way for his family and friends and he will see them on that Shining Shore, arms reached out, smiling and singing "Oh That Circle Be Unbroken."
Memorials are suggested to The Humane Society, 5 North "Q" Street, Pensacola, FL 32505.
