Joshua Richard Collins

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Joshua Richard Collins on August 24, 2026, in Brampton, Ontario, at the young age of 21.

Born in Oakville, Ontario, on September 14, 2004, Joshua was a beautiful soul with a rare gift for making people laugh. He had a presence that could brighten any room, and his warmth, humour, and vibrant spirit drew people to him. In a world that can often feel dark, Joshua was a light to those around him, leaving a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

A passionate and talented artist, Joshua was truly at home in the studio, where he poured his heart and creativity into rapping and making music.

Joshua was a fiercely protective, loving, and deeply devoted son, nephew, grandson, brother, cousin, and friend. He was incredibly generous and the kind of person who would go out of his way to help someone in need. His laughter, his energy, his kindness, and the countless memories he created will be treasured by all who knew and loved him.

Left behind to mourn his passing are his beloved parents, Natasha and Richard; his cherished siblings, Brianna, Ariella, Gabriel, and Elias; his loving grandparents, Dennis and Karen, Joan and Richard, and Lionel and Donna; as well as his many aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family, and a vast circle of close friends.

Joshua’s passing has left an immeasurable heartbreak for all who loved him. Though his life was far too short, the love he shared and the memories he gave us will remain a part of us forever.

Joshua, you were deeply loved. You will be missed beyond measure and carried in our hearts for the rest of our lives.

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever our Joshua. Never forgotten.
