of Conway, AR

August 7, 1997 - March 30, 2025

As the youngest of six siblings, Joshua was light-hearted and playful -a gift to his family from the very beginning. He was tender-hearted, loving and a natural-born leader. Whether on family trips, battling and beating his siblings in board games, or showing off on the dance floor, he brought so much joy to those around him. His laugh was contagious, his hugs reassuring and his handwritten notes-filled with care and intention-treasures we'll hold onto forever.

Born in Little Rock, Josh attended Subiaco Academy, studied at the University of Central Arkansas and was a personal trainer by profession. He was fiercely dedicated to his fitness goals and used that same passion to uplift others. From pushing himself in the gym to encouraging others to believe in their own strength, Joshua led with kindness, confidence and purpose. He had a rare ability to make people feel seen and valued. He never met a stranger and always made sure no one felt alone.

We will miss him deeply. But we are eternally grateful for the time we had with him-and for the love, light and laughter he gave so freely to everyone he knew.

Joshua is survived by his father, Greg Stephens (Pat) of Monticello; his siblings, Kathryn Stephens Eastman (Chuck), Alex Ward (Carri Jo), Rachel Herrera (Jose Carlos) and Jennifer Stephens (Sean Klein) and Ryan Robertson; grandmother, Donna Stephens; grandparents, Dan and Anita Spencer of Fayetteville and mother, Danita Stephens. He is predeceased by his grandfather, Kenneth Stephens and grandmother, Dr. Wanda Stephens.

Visitation will be from 5pm to 7pm Friday, April 11th at Roller McNutt Funeral Home in Conway. Funeral services will be at 11am Saturday at the First Church Of The Nazarene in Conway.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made to Joshua's memorial fund: Donate to Honoring Joshua's Memory. https://gofund.me/6a0da752
