On Friday, March 24th, 2023 Joshua William Carlton, 33, passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home in Pattersonville, NY. Born August 2nd, 1989, Joshua lived a life of joyful innocence. Joshua was the beloved son of Robin and Carl Carlton and cherished brother to Bradley and Douglas. In addition to his parents and brothers, Joshua is survived by his nieces Kensington and Eden, his nephews Wesley and Wyatt Joshua, and his many aunts, uncles and cousins. Throughout most of Joshua’s life he attended the Wildwood Programs. Anyone who knew Josh knows that he loved Christmas, Disney movies, swimming, motorcycle rides, helping dad cut firewood, helping mom in the kitchen, and attending social gatherings with family and friends. We thank God for the gift of Joshua and the precious time we had with him. He was immensely loving and made us better people. A memorial service will be held at Bethel Full Gospel Church in Rotterdam, NY on Saturday, April 1st at 11:00 A.M. In lieu of flowers, those who wish to do so can make a donation in Josh’s name to the Wildwood Foundation (2995 Curry Road, Schenectady, NY 12303) or to Bethel Full Gospel Church (3625 Guilderland Ave, Schenectady, NY 12306).
