Joshua Jack Fee

Joshua Jack (Josh) Fee, 39, joined his Lord and Savior on February 5, 2018. He loved the Lord with every ounce of his being, adored his soul-mate Dawn, and beamed with pride over his kids, Jackson, Leah, and Kendyl. A passionate follower of Jesus, a fearless servant leader, a faithful and treasured father to not only his own children but to every child/student he came into contact with, a humble, forgiving and faithful friend, a fierce voice and advocate for the underprivileged, a broken man made whole because of the blood of Jesus, a man that not only proclaimed the gospel but intentionally lived it out every second of every day, a man that loved others fiercely—a man that leaves a gaping hole in each of our hearts! A Celebration of Life service will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, February 10 at Immanuel Baptist Church. Josh was born April 9th, 1978 in Pueblo, Colorado to William “Bill” and Reta Chapman Fee.

Well done, good and faithful servant! “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
