Joshua Michael Hora

Joshua Michael Hora, of Crystal Lake, passed away April 15, 2026 at the age of 17.

He was born October 22, 2008 in Arlington Heights, the son of Justin Hora and Kerry Trierweiler.

Joshua was a natural and passionate artist, with a deep love for music and drawing that reflected both his talent and his spirit. Known to many as a gentle giant, his tall stature gave him a commanding presence and was someone you could easily spot in any crowd. Grounded in his faith, Joshua held a strong trust in Jesus. Above all, he will be remembered for his sensitive, warm heart and his genuine nature, which touched the lives of all who knew him.

Joshua will be dearly missed by his parents, Justin and Nicole Hora; his little brothers, Jacob and Jordan Hora; his paternal grandparents, John Hora and Gail Schroder; his maternal grandparents, Kenneth and Jennifer Garramone; his biological maternal grandfather, Robert Trierweiler; his uncles, Cameron Hora, Ryan Garramone, and Perry Trierweiler; and his aunts, Gina Hora and Ali Garramone; and many, many cousins.
