Joshua David Fennen, 13, of Omaha, NE, passed away living his dream on Wednesday, June 11, 2008 at the Little Sioux Scout Ranch in Little Sioux. He was one of four teens killed that night when a tornado struck Little Sioux Boy Scout Camp. Josh was born on Saturday, August 20, 1994 in Littleton, CO. He was an 8th grade honor student at Andersen Middle School and was looking forward to 9th grade at Millard South High School. Josh was a member of Boy Scout Troop 331 and achieved the rank of Life on his road to Eagle. He was a member of the Order of the Arrow and was a Den Chief of Pack 331, mentoring dozens of Cub Scouts and inspiring them to fulfill their dreams of becoming an Eagle Scout. His latest adventure was to better his leadership skills with his friends at the Pahuk Pride Leadership Camp.

Josh had touched many lives throughout his short, yet very memorable life. By now he already has a new patrol and is off on a new adventure in heaven. Heaven now has the best Senior Patrol Leader.

He had many hobbies, skateboarding, electronics, archery, art, model and Live Steam railroading. Josh lived every moment as if it were a new adventure. He was not only a go-getter in his life, but was also a go-giver. Giving everything he had into his life, family, friends and community.

Cherished grandson of Gayle and Janet Weeren of Burton, Charles and Cheryl Fennen of San Antonio. Beloved nephew of DeArmond J. Fennen, Gary R.
