Joshua Oran Robertson, 28, passed away peacefully on May 11, 2025, after a long and courageous battle with MS. He was raised in Chehalis, where he attended W. F. West High School and enjoyed some of the best years of his life. Joshua lived for the outdoors. He spent his best days riding four-wheelers and motorbikes, water skiing, tubing, fishing, hunting, traveling, and more. His early years were full of motion, freedom, and joy — memories that would become even more precious after his devastating MS diagnosis at 16.
Josh will always be remembered for his kindness and courage. Despite everything his illness took from him, he never complained. When friends or caregivers expressed sorrow for his condition, he would gently say, “Not your fault.”
Joshua is survived by his mother and stepfather, Betty and Johnnie Loy; his father, Mark Robertson; his sisters Nicole Thelin and Amy Loy (and their children); his grandfather Rocky (Jeanie) Owens; his best friend Justin and many others.
No formal service will be held. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to National MS Society in Joshua’s memory.
His body may have failed, but his spirit never did. Joshua showed us how to live fully, love gently, and let go with grace. He will be remembered always for his humor, courage, and the kindness he unfailingly showed to others.
