In Memory of Joshua Leo Przybycien

May you "remember me as a time of day...." It is with great sadness that we share that Joshua Leo Przybycien passed away suddenly on September 8th, 2023 at the age of 33 when he and his fiancé, Kathryn Workman were struck by a tree while camping. Joshua died doing what he loved in a place that he loved, surrounded by nature, which he held in the highest regard. He had an unquenchable thirst for adventure of all sorts from mountain biking to mosh pits to traveling to places such as his second home of Tobago, to finding his adventure curled up with a good book and a hot cup of tea that he brewed from the herbs he collected. One of his numerous skills was storytelling, captivating a crowd from his closest friends and family to a stranger he met passing by (who inevitably stopped to compliment him on his luscious locks). His smile and laughter were contagious, and he made such a powerful impact on everyone he encountered. The power that Joshua held within his spirit was like no other and his vitality did not come to an end with his death. His power was released into everything, into every animal, especially honeybees, into every plant with some extra love to the Tulsi basil, into nature with a deep connection to the oceans and into every idiosyncrasy between all that makes us human and our interactions with the world. He holds a particular power in the reflections of sunlight in bodies of water, which was one of his favorite things in this world.

With his tragic passing we are creating this gofundme to try and help offset the unexpected funeral expenses that are accruing. If you were ever touched by Joshua’s warmth and love the way that we were, please consider donating, sharing this post or helping in whatever way feels right to you.
