Born on August 20, 1979, in Pittsburgh, he was the son of Eugene Turoczy and Mary Jane (Bodrock) Turoczy.

Josh was a faithful and dedicated employee of Columbia Gas, where he worked as a Construction Coordinator in Field Operations. A true outdoorsman, he found peace and solace in nature and enjoyed hiking, biking, hunting, and flying his drone to capture the beauty of the world around him. Josh was an incredibly hard worker who took great pride in providing a beautiful life for his family. He especially enjoyed working around his home, bringing out the unique character that he and his wife, Dana, envisioned together. Josh had a special love for animals and cherished watching his daughter, Maci, ride horses, as well as spending time with his beloved dogs and cats. In his free time, he looked forward to trips to Hocking Hills, antiquing, and simply enjoying the outdoors with those he loved most.
