Pfc. Joshua A. Ramsey of Defiance, Ohio was a 2003 high school graduate and the son of Bruce Ramsey and Joy Buckles. He was a United States Army veteran. He loved his job. He loved the Iraqi people, especially the kids. He was assigned to distribute soccer balls and school supplies. It didn't make a lot of sense at first, but Joshua decided to buy himself a new Pontiac Grand Am while on a two week vacation from Iraq. His grandmother soon found out why. It seemed rather foolish to buy a car. But, when it's 150 degrees in Iraq, you need something to dream about and to plan for. If it helped him through the tough times, it was well worth it. She took pictures of him with his new car so he could show his buddies. During his vacation, he went fishing and golfing. For dinner one night, he asked his mother to "fry up those little brown things" chicken livers, one of her son's favorite meals. Joshua was a member of Ayersville United Methodist Church. He is survived by his father and stepmother, Bruce and LeAnn Ramsey. He was preceded in death by great-grandfathers, Glen Camack and Clyde Ramsey. He died in Baghdad, Iraq, from non-combat related injuries at age 19.
