Joshua William Hertz, age 37, resident of Peachtree City, Georgia, passed away on November 1, 2024, doing what he loved most—flying.

Josh was a devoted husband, proud father, and a decorated Army veteran who served with honor in Iraq and Afghanistan. Known for his boundless energy and adventurous spirit, he filled his life with meaning and joy. He enjoyed hunting, camping, and tackling personal projects around his home, embracing each day with a smile and infectious enthusiasm.

Josh is survived by his loving wife, Monique, and their two young sons, Vince (5) and Ben (4). His parents, Laura and Bill, were pillars of his life, she was his creative inspiration and his dad his best friend, who he spoke with daily. His twin sisters, Kati and Anna, his sister Lydia, his cherished niece, Laila, and his beloved Aunt Paty all held special places in his heart. He will be deeply missed by his friends and extended family.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, November 8, at 7:00pm at Warrenville Bible Chapel, 4S157 Curtis Ave., Warrenville, IL 60555. Interment with military honors will follow on Saturday, November 9, at 9:30 am at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood, Illinois.
