Joshua Michael Maher

March 31, 1982 - July 27, 2021

Joshua M. Maher, age 39, of Woodbridge, Virginia passed away Tuesday, July 27, 2021, at Sentara Northern Virginia Medical center due to complications from a lifelong battle with epilepsy. Born March 31, 1982, in Syracuse, New York, he formerly resided in Bristow, Virginia; Frankfurt, Germany; and Clark Air Base, The Philippines. He is survived by his parents, John (Mike) and Doreen (Turtle) Maher, his younger sibling, Matthew, and a large loving family full of cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends. Josh’s infectious smile and silly sense of humor touched many lives and he never forgot those who befriended him. One of his caretakers described Josh as a young man wearing many hats, as a weatherman, DJ, neighborhood trashman, clock and timekeeper, and lover of American (and other) flags. Josh had a passion for turbulent weather and storms, even going so far as to name his toy horses Stormy, Thunder, Lightning and Windy. Wherever you found Josh, you found a rhythm to dance to. May that dance continue in heaven. A special thanks goes out to his caretakers, whom he loved dearly, including the staff of Community Concepts, Inc., which managed his group home and day program, caring for him as if he were family. Additional gratitude is extended to the staff at Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center for caring for Joshua and his family in Josh’s final days. There are no immediate services planned at the time.
