Josh Horne Obituary: Pickerington wrestler died at 37

Josh Horne Obituary: Joshua J. Horne, 37, passed away on November 18, 2023. Josh Horne was more than just an athlete, he was one of the greatest wrestlers in Ohio history.

A graduate of Pickerington Central High School, class of 2005, Josh was a talented and accomplished wrestler, placing thrice as a state tournament finalist and winning the championship title in 2005.

He graduated from Ohio University, where he also wrestled competitively. Josh’s legendary competitive drive extended beyond wrestling; his unbridled, triumphant joy when he won–which he often did, at many things–was unforgettable. He will be remembered for his big laugh, sharp intelligence, and his profoundly deep love of family and friends.

Family will receive friends at the Dwayne R. Spence Funeral Home, 550 Hill Rd N (St Rt #256), Pickerington on Sunday, November 26 beginning at 1 pm, until the memorial service, which will begin in the same location at 3 pm.

After the memorial, all are welcome to celebrate Josh’s life at Emelio’s Restaurant (574 Georgesville Road).
