Josh Latimer loved many things. But above all he loved his children, his mama, his fiancé Brittney Preston, and all his family and friends.

Josh also loved music, especially Alman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, John Fogarty. He also loved horror movies, civil war history, conspiracy theories, and arguing on Facebook about politics.  Josh loved fishing in the mountain streams of North Carolina.  He was a licensed fishing guide, proclaiming himself as The Appalachian Assassin.

His passion and obsession for collecting antiques started at an early age sharing this love with his brother Boo.  After the loss of his brother Josh’s vision for Two Owl Trading Company was born.

Josh will be missed by his family and friends. He had this great smile and bigger than life personality that was exaggerated by the long hair country boy he was!

Joshua Latimer’s Family would like to express special thanks and appreciation to Renewed Hope Ministries and Director Bert Crowe.
