Joshua DeBerry

Joshua Ray DeBerry, 35, of Savannah, Georgia, passed away on December 21, 2016. Born September 19, 1981, in Savannah, Joshua was known to family and friends for his steady hands, practical skills, and the quiet care he brought to everyday life. A hardworking handyman by trade, he took pride in helping others and in making things right — a dependable presence for those who needed him.

Joshua shared his life with his fiancée, Audria Smith, and their household, where he cared for the home and the family with practical kindness. Those who knew him remember a man who preferred action over words: repairing, fixing, and lending support where it was needed. He valued his local community in Savannah and was remembered for close family ties, including parents and grandparents who shaped his life.

He was preceded in death by grandparents Marvin and Eleanor DeBerry and grandmother Faye Campbell. The lives he touched — family, friends, and neighbors — recall his helpful nature and the ordinary, meaningful ways he showed up for others.

Joshua’s loss was felt deeply by those closest to him. Friends and family honor his memory by holding fast to the everyday care and reliability he modeled. In memorial, his loved ones celebrate a life of practical generosity and the small, steadfast acts that reflected his character.

Arrangements were handled by Baker McCullough Funeral Home and Cremation. Those who wish to remember Joshua are encouraged to offer quiet acts of service or to help a neighbor in his honor, continuing the simple generosity that marked his days.
