Joshua Clay Vasquez, 44, a resident of Glendale, Arizona, passed away unexpectedly on October 12, 2020.

Josh was born on December 7, 1975 in Columbia City.  He graduated from Columbia City High School in 1994 and received an Associates in Business from Indiana Tech in 2007. Josh moved to Arizona while in his 20’s.  He became a licensed Barber in 2010.  Josh fulfilled his dream of opening his own barbershop, Most Valuable Barber Arizona, in 2017.  He loved and pursued the excellence of his barbering craft.
