Joshua Stephin Sniezek, Loved Outdoor Activities

Photo of Joshua Stephin Sniezek Joshua Stephin Sniezek passed away early Saturday, April 17th 2021 from complications of Mitochondrial Disease.

A beloved son, and a friend to many, Josh’s enthusiasm, charisma, and tireless empathy for the well-being of others meant strangers quickly became friends and friends eventually became family. To Josh, family was everything: with family and his faith prioritized above all else. Cultivating these relationships was his life’s purpose and he nurtured them with the same care that made him a master horticulturalist.

Joshua was a Clearview High School graduate, class of 2010. He furthered his education acquiring a degree in Theology from Morning Star Ministry. Joshua continued with his passion of Ministry during his travels influencing a remarkable number of people while also continuing to pursue a master’s degree.

Joshua held many jobs during his life from Marketing Director to CEO Business Development Consultant. He was a visionary and often jumped at or created entrepreneurial opportunities, as well as advocating and mentoring others who suffer from the same disease.

Joshua loved outdoor activities like 4-wheeling, boating and jet skiing. He was also tirelessly pursuing notable sports such as soccer, rock climbing, basketball and baseball despite the ensuing ailments brought on by this disease. Joshua was a well-known mentor amongst his peers and an avid musician with such instruments as the violin. Of all Joshua’s hobbies and activities, he cherished spending quality time with family most of all.
