Berlin

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Joshua Scott Michnick, who was born on February 25, 1998, and sadly left us on November 5, 2025, in Owings Mills, Maryland, at the age of 27.

Joshua was a vibrant spirit who touched the lives of everyone he met with his kindness and compassion. A graduate of Stephen Decatur High School in 2016, he further pursued his passion for psychology, earning a Bachelor’s Degree from Towson University. He was currently working towards a Master’s Degree in Psychology at McDaniel College. Prior to his educational journey, Joshua made a name for himself as the manager of Eagle Fork Vineyards in Hayesville, North Carolina, where he demonstrated exceptional leadership and dedication.

Joshua had a deep love for his two beloved puppies, Fuchsia and Violet, who brought him immense joy. He was known for his willingness to help others, and his generous spirit will be greatly missed by friends, family, and the community.

He is survived by his devoted father, Dr. Lawrence Steven Michnick; his loving mother, Deanne Kendra Michnick; his cherished sister, Sarena Joanne Michnick; and his paternal grandmother, Judith Deborah Michnick. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Dr. Bruce T. Michnick; maternal grandfather, Jerry Lynn Smith; and his maternal grandmother, Joanne P. Smith.

A graveside service were held on November 11, 2025, at Woodlawn Memorial Park in Easton, MD, where family and friends gathered to honor Joshua’s life and legacy.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Joshua’s name to the Worcester County Humane Society, honoring his lifelong affection for animals and commitment to their well-being.

Joshua’s warm heart and gentle spirit will forever be remembered.”
