Our story
Josh’s greatest passion was football-he played for more than 12 years. He loved to laugh and make others laugh, gave the biggest hugs, and had the kindest heart. He was an animal lover who wanted to keep them all.
Our goal
In loving memory of our late son, Joshua Barkley (12/25/2003 – 12/26/2023), my family and I have established a memorial scholarship fund to honor his legacy. Joshua was taken from us in a tragic accident the day after his 20th birthday, and we miss him more than words can express.
Throughout his life, Josh faced academic challenges and was on an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). He often doubted himself and his own abilities, struggling with a low self-esteem that he carefully hid from the world.
This scholarship is dedicated to young adults who, like Josh, have faced academic struggles and are on a learning plan. It is for those who wish to pursue a trade school education, honoring the hands-on skills and talents that are too often overlooked.
If you feel inclined, please consider donating to the Joshua Barkley Memorial Scholarship Fund.
Thank you for helping us honor Josh’s memory and support a new generation of deserving students.
With gratitude,
The Barkley's
