Josh Wayne Dagostin, 41, of Dothan, AL passed away both unexpectedly and mercifully into the hands of Jesus on Sunday, January 23, 2022. He is no longer a slave to the pain and suffering he endured from his progressive and recurring migraines due to a boating accident at age 14.

He was preceded in death by his loving grandparents, Poppy (Shelby Thomas) and Mema (Eura Thomas), Grandpa (Frank Dagostin) and Grandma (Thelma Dagostin) and his beloved big brother Shane Dagostin – whom he adored.

He will be dearly missed by his parents, Mike and Jean Dagostin of Dothan, AL, his sister, Blaire McCurry (Andrew) of Birmingham, AL and nephews, Garrett Dagostin (Katheryn) and Quinn McCurry, and nieces, Claire Dagostin, Maggie, Hensley, and Ellian McCurry. He will also be greatly missed by his aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Josh was born on February 16, 1980 in Dothan, AL and has lived there most of his life. He graduated from Northview High School in 1998 and received a degree in Forestry at LBW in Andalusia. Josh equally loved being in the outdoors and helping people. He was an “on the scene” type of guy. He then went to Wallace College and obtained a degree in paramedics, a license in EMT and became a firefighter at the Ozark Fire Department for 10 years. He was born for this and faithfully and fervently served the community until his headaches began to rob him of this opportunity. Although Josh lived in debilitating pain, he never stopped serving those in need. He was kind. He was gracious. He was appreciative. He was available. He loved taking his nephew Quinn to look for arrowheads, a passionate hobby of his at which he became quite skillful. He had an acute eye for detail that was a rare gift. Josh lived a quiet and simple life and held his family very close. He will be forever missed, etched on our hearts, and alive in our memories – until we meet again.

We will have a private family “Celebration of Life” service at his parents’ home at a later date.
