Joshua Arvid Sager

Joshua Arvid Sager July 5, 1977-January 18, 2014 Joshua Sager was called home to join his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, in the everlasting life; to walk eternally amid the peace and grace of God's brilliant love. Joshua's motto in life was LOVE. And he did just that. Fiercely. Whole-heartedly. Charismatically. A simple man, he treasured his roles as patriarch, husband and father, and hard-working family man. Joshua sang his way through life, a master of granite, the muscles, a music man, a skater, a teacher, and now leaves us with the song that was his life. Joshua is survived by his wife, Tabatha Sager; 6 children, Christopher, 14, Christian, 12, Nicholas, 10, Garrett, 10, Abygail, 8, and Gabriela, 7; great-grandmother, Mary Royer; grandfather, Morris Shenk; grandmother, Maria Morris; mother, Kim Lawton; father, John Sager, and his wife, Jo-Ann; step-father, Craig Morris; sister, Jessica; sister, Prudence, and her husband, Christopher; brothers, Michael, Scott, and Allen; a number of uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews, and nieces; and a plethora of other family and friends. Joshua is preceded in death by his grandparents, John and Irma Sager, Betty Shenk, Donald Royer, and Carl Morris and step-father, Fred Lawton. What a long, strange trip it's been, Bubba.

Viewing: 1-3 p.m. Memorial service: 3-4 p.m. Reception follows at the Ruble Center, 419 E. Magnolia. "But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Joshua 24:15
