Joshua Vincent Karsten Jirgens (42) born November 19,1980, passed away June 27, 2023. Beloved son of Vincent C. (Deceased) and Suzy (nee Zehnder). Loving brother of Zachary (Meaghan), fun uncle of Logan and brand new baby Katrina, best friend of Maggie O’Linn. Will be greatly missed by many friends and scads of family. Josh attended Dennison University receiving a BA in Philosophy and History. He then joined the US Army serving 2 tours in Iraq. He received an MBA from Penn State. Josh was always a well dressed man. He was an avid reader and a huge Ohio State football fan. Josh was very competitive and sometimes controversial when playing any type of game. Sometimes changing the rules half way through. He loved Booths Tavern trivia night and knew all his state capitals. He loved every dog he ever met or watched a video of. He always looked forward to spending time with family and friends, including the annual Easter hike. Spending time with Logan was always a highlight for him. A Memorial Service will be held,10am, Saturday, July 8, 2023 at Zion Lutheran Church, 2062 East 30th St., Cleveland, Ohio. The family asks in lieu of flowers, that donations be made to Zion Lutheran Church.
SGT J, will see on the high ground brother. Was an absolute honor to serve with you and you will be greatly missed. A true warrior! My sincerest condolences to your entire close circle of friends and family!
