Obituary of Joshua Taylor Shope

Joshua Taylor Shope, 37 from Boise, ID currently residing in Las Vegas, NV, passed away Saturday May 27, 2017 in his home.

Josh was born in Boise, Id on April 18th 1980 to Alfred Shope and Vickie Andra. He graduated from Meridian High School and went off to Dixie College in Utah for 2 years.

Josh loved his job at Las Vegas club hop where he was the director of promotions. His hobbies included boating, camping, fishing and hunting. He also loved to get together with his family and friends for dinner or just to hang out and go swimming. Josh loved movies, so much so, that he would go to the theater and watch them by himself! He liked to sing and dance but had no rhythm and couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket, though he thought he could. He would be the first one to give the shirt off his back or help a friend or family member in need. Josh had such a great personality and sense of humor that he could put you in a good mood no matter how bad you felt.

He will be missed by all but mostly by his children Trystan and Nevaeh, his siblings, Stephanie Shope of California, Craig Dye of California, Lacie Shope-Hamilton formally of Nevada now in Idaho, mother Vickie Andra of Idaho, grandmother Phyllis Aitken of Idaho, girlfriend Heather Lotus of Nevada numerous aunts, uncles, cousin and all the rest of his loving family. His smile and laugh will forever live in them!

Please no flowers or gifts, the family has a “Go Fund Me” account to help with all the costs. www.gofundme.com, search Josh Shope. There are two accounts, one was set up by his girlfriend the other by his family. Either one is okay to donate on.

Josh was predeceased in death by his father Alfred Taylor Shope.
