Joshua Thad Fife, age 34, of Strong, AR passed from this life Tuesday May 20, 2025. Josh was born January 13, 1991 in Camden, AR to parents Jeff and Cheryl Fife.

Josh Fife, a beloved father, friend, and all-around outdoors-man, passed away leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and hands-on craftsmanship. Known for his huge heart and generous spirit, Josh touched the lives of all who knew him with his warmth and authenticity.

Josh found his greatest joy in spending time with his two children, who were the center of his world. Whether casting a line on a quiet fishing trip, trekking through the woods on a hunting excursion, or cheering on the Razorbacks with full-hearted enthusiasm, Josh lived every moment with passion and presence.

A man of many talents and endless curiosity, Josh was a skilled metalworker who found solace and satisfaction at his forge, shaping metal with fire and focus. He had recently discovered a love for golf, approaching the sport with the same enthusiasm he brought to all his hobbies. Josh was equally at home tending to his garden, whipping up something delicious in the kitchen, or catching air on a dirt bike—always in motion, always embracing life.

His adventurous spirit, creative hands, and kind heart made him someone you couldn't help but admire. He lived fully, loved deeply, and gave selflessly.

Josh will be missed beyond words but remembered in every wild trail, every home-cooked meal, every swing of a golf club, and in the laughter of his children.

He was precede in death by his mother Cheryl Ann Roberts Fife; uncle Thomas Fife; maternal grandfather Ted Roberts; paternal grandparents Virginia and Sam Fife; and cousin Daniel "Spanky" Fife.

Those left to cherish his memory include: his loving wife of eleven years Brooke Lee Frederick Fife; one daughter Presley Ann Fife; one son Grady Lee Fife; brother Jeffery Chase Fife of Little Rock, AR; father Jeffery Thad Fife of Baker, MT; maternal grandmother Andrea Johnson and her husband Earl of Smackover, AR; maternal step-grandmother Sharon Roberts of Camden, AR; uncle Michael Fife and his wife Heather of Strong, AR; aunt Charity Hunter and her husband Jeff of El Dorado, AR; aunt Yvonne Roberts of El Dorado, AR; as well as a host of extended family and friends.
