Joshua Joseph Reynolds

With profound sadness and immeasurable love, we announce the passing of our beautiful son, grandson, brother, husband, uncle, and friend, Joshua Joseph Reynolds, who left the world far too soon at the age of 36.

Joshua was a proud gay man who lived boldly and authentically, embracing each day with joy, energy, and purpose. He began every morning with a commitment to staying physically fit, carrying that same discipline and vitality into every part of his life. His smile could light up a room, and his laughter was infectious, filling every gathering with warmth and happiness.

A true adventurer at heart, Joshua traveled the world, seeking new experiences, cultures, and friendships wherever he went. No matter where he was, he was always the biggest personality in the room-vibrant, magnetic, and unforgettable.

At home, his heart belonged to his beloved dog, BICA, his constant companion and source of joy. He cherished his friends and family deeply; they knew firsthand the generosity and loyalty that defined him. Joshua had the rare gift of making everyone feel valued and cared for, always ready to give the shirt off his back to someone in need.

He graduated from Gannon University as a Physician Assistant. His years spent as a dedicated Physician Assistant; Joshua poured his compassion and skill into caring for his patients. His devotion extended beyond his professional role, as he also volunteered his time each month at a free clinic, offering healing and hope to those without access to care. His work was not just a career, but a calling-an extension of his immense heart and selfless spirit.

Joshua's legacy is one of love, laughter, and service. Though his life was far too short, he filled it with meaning and left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know him. He will be remembered for his dazzling smile, his adventurous spirit, his boundless generosity, and above all, his love-for family, friends, and for life itself.

He is survived by his husband; Jason Tudor, his mother; Kristie (Ken) Lenze, siblings; Emily (Rob), Luke (Jenna), Josephine, and Sophia, his father;  Ellwyn (Lara) Reynolds, siblings; Noah, Jasmine (Logan), Jade, and Ben Reynolds and by a niece; Layken Pierce, by two nephews; Archie and Fletcher Pierce.  He is also survived by his maternal grandparents; Joseph and Sandra Viglione, his paternal grandparents; Ellwyn Sr. and Kathy Reynolds, and by several loving aunts, uncles, and cousins.

He was preceded in death by an uncle; Andrew Reynolds and by a sibling; Michael Anthony Bennardi.
