Joshua McMahan

Joshua Micheal (nope, not a typo it’s really spelled that way) McMahan left this world April 18, 2012.

He was loved, hated, praised, and cursed by relatives and friends alike.

He ultimately passed as a result of being stubborn, refusing to follow doctors’ (or anyone else for that matters) orders, and raising hell for a little more than three decades.

He lived life on his own terms.

Josh was born on Sept. 16, 1978, to Linda Burgert Waller.

Josh was a beautiful, unique, kind, and loving spirit man.

Joshie endured around ten mind-numbing years of public schooling.

He had worked as a pizza delivery boy and call center representative before shockingly becoming independently "wealthy."

He loved music, beer, movies, vodka, television, and women, but not necessarily in that order.

He was also an awesome drummer!/vocalist? and was in several bands over the years.

He lived in Ponca City his entire life except for the past year where he was forced to put up with his sister and brother-in-law out in the middle of nowhere — a little piece of terra firma aptly called Haskell.

He is survived by Rosie, his long-time canine companion; a sister, Melanie Waller Ochoa; a brother-in-law, DJ Ochoa; a best friend/brother, Cliff Crull; three nieces, Miranda, Emma, and Camille; and one nephew, Maxx.

Josh had no children of his own (at least none that we know of).

He was preceded in death by Mom Linda, Grandma Nina Burgert, and Grandpa Joe Burgert.

A remembrance service was held at 2:00 p.m. April 25 in the chapel of Trout Funeral Home where you may re-tell the stories he can no longer share.

Anyone dressed in a suit or Sunday’s best will be promptly escorted back to their vehicle. Just kidding ... we’ll accept you as you are — just as Josh would have in life.

Please be wary for any children’s sake, there may be profanity and/or alcohol involved.

If you have a special memory or maybe just want to irritate Josh for all eternity, please bring a magnet or sticker to attach to his casket for evermore.

In lieu of flowers or memorial gifts, please give generously, in Joshs’ honor, to rockstarmusiceducation.org.

JRock will be placed to rest in the St. Mary’s section of Odd Fellows (the irony) Cemetery in Ponca City and I’m sure he would invite you to come by later and have a laugh on him — literally.

Jim McNeill

Jim Edward McNeill, 55 year-old, lifelong Seminole County resident passed from this life Saturday, May 19, 2012 in a motorcycle accident northwest of Seminole.
