In Loving Memory of Josiah LeFever, 28, of Geneseo, Tragically Lost in February 23 Crash

With heavy hearts and profound sorrow, we gather in remembrance of Josiah LeFever, 28, of Geneseo, whose life was tragically lost in a fatal motor vehicle crash on the morning of February 23, 2026, in the Town of Geneseo, New York. His sudden passing has left an indescribable void in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

Josiah LeFever was more than a name in a report. He was a beloved son, a devoted family member, a loyal friend, and a valued member of the Geneseo community. He was someone whose presence brought warmth into a room, whose laughter could lighten even the heaviest of days, and whose kindness left a lasting imprint on the lives he touched.

Born and raised in the close-knit community he called home, Josiah carried with him a deep appreciation for family, friendship, and the simple joys of life. He was known for his genuine spirit and steady character — someone people could rely on without hesitation. Whether offering a helping hand, sharing a word of encouragement, or simply showing up when it mattered most, Josiah exemplified quiet strength and unwavering loyalty.

To his family, Josiah was a source of pride and immeasurable love. He was a son whose bond with his loved ones was rooted in respect and devotion. Family gatherings were brighter because of him — his stories, his humor, and his easy smile creating moments that will now be treasured forever. Though their hearts are broken, the love they shared remains an eternal thread that not even loss can sever.

As a friend, Josiah was the kind of person everyone hopes to have in their corner. He listened without judgment, stood firm in support, and celebrated the successes of others as if they were his own. His friendships were built on sincerity and trust, and those fortunate enough to call him a friend will carry his memory with them in every shared story and every quiet remembrance.

The tragic accident that claimed his life has shaken the Town of Geneseo and surrounding areas. In moments like these, communities are reminded of how precious and fragile life truly is. Josiah’s passing is a heartbreaking reminder to hold loved ones close, to speak words of kindness freely, and to cherish each day as a gift.

Though his time on earth was far too short, the impact Josiah made in 28 years will endure far beyond his lifetime. His legacy lives on in the memories he created, the love he gave, and the countless ways he made the world around him better simply by being himself.

As we mourn this devastating loss, we also celebrate the life Josiah lived — a life marked by compassion, integrity, and connection. May his family find strength in the outpouring of love surrounding them, comfort in shared memories, and peace in knowing that Josiah’s light will never truly fade.

Rest in eternal peace, Josiah LeFever. You will be deeply missed, forever loved, and always remembered.
