The Cottage

04/16/2025

It’s with an extremely heavy heart and a loss for words that we share the heartbreaking news that one of our dearly loved team members, Joshua Dickerson, passed away on Sunday, April 13th, 2025.

Josh wasn’t just a team member — he was family. His presence filled every room, and his absence now leaves a space that can never truly be filled. He was the kind of person you simply never forget.

“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou
This was Josh. To his core, he cared about how he made others feel — through his positive energy, his free-spirited heart, and the deep sincerity behind every interaction.

Josh had a contagious laugh, a kind and ever-present smile, and eyes that radiated warmth. His personality was magnetic and uplifting — you couldn’t help but want him around. He had that rare gift of making people feel like they truly mattered, whether he was saying “hello baby” or “hello darlin’” with that unforgettable grin.

He never met a stranger. With a larger-than-life spirit and an infectious enthusiasm, Josh brought light into every space he walked into. He had a way of getting into deep, comfortable conversations with ease and always looked for ways to brighten your day.

Josh was a man of deep integrity, grounded in the values passed down by his family and guided by his servant heart. He put others before himself. He showed up when someone was in need — without hesitation. Whether through big gestures or quiet moments of support, he was always there.

He was a beacon of light to our community — touching lives, influencing people in ways big and small, and making a lasting impact wherever he went.

His kindness defined him. And because of that kindness, he will forever remain in our hearts. We were proud to know him, honored to work beside him, and grateful to call him a friend and family member.

We love you, Josh. We miss you more than words can ever say.

Please keep his family in your prayers!

Below are the Obituary details his family as asked us to share for the service that will be held this Saturday, April 19th at 11am at Liberty Church located at 81 Shepard Street Havelock, NC 82532. Please help us by forward this information to others in our community.

A Celebration of Life gathering in honor of Joshua Dickerson will be held at The Cottage at a later date. More details will be shared as they become available.
