Joshua Alan Wagner, age 31 of Webster, passed away at his home on August 1, 2017. The Wagner family will greet friends on Sunday, August 6, 2017 from 2-6:00PM
at Ballard-Sunder Funeral Home, Prior Lake. Mass of Christian Burial will be on Monday, August 7, 2017 at 11AM with a visitation 1-hour prior all at St. Michael Catholic Church, Prior Lake. Joshua will be laid to rest at St. Michael Catholic Cemetery. Pallbearers will be Kurt Wagner, Troy Wagner, Michael Borka, Wade Seifert, Brian Borka, Jesse Pexa, Todd Wagner, and Kevin Wagner. Father Jim Van Dorn will preside.
On November 12, 1985 in Shakopee, MN, parents Tim and Mary Kay (Borka) Wagner celebrated the birth of first child, Joshua Alan Wagner. From a young age, Josh exhibited his intelligence—he could read at age 3 and memorize countless facts. He excelled academically at Holy Cross Catholic School (LNMV) of Webster and lettered in academics at New Prague High School.
After Josh’s high school graduation in 2004, he followed in his dad’s footsteps and took certification classes for welding. Josh was employed at Chart Industries, as well as other companies over the years. He was also employed at the Prior Lake VFW in a variety of positions, but his favorite one was being a cook. Josh put his cooking skills to use whenever he could by hosting get-togethers with his family and friends. Delicious food was never in short supply with him cooking.
Josh’s family was the foundation of his life. When he was young, he spent countless hours playing with his siblings at their country home. Summers were filled with trips to Grandma’s house at the lake, fishing, and exploring the outdoors. In the winter, the kids went sledding and snowmobiling. As a family, they went camping often, took many road trips in the motor home, and travelled to countless destinations together.
In his adult years, Josh’s life was enriched when he met Brittany at a concert. His smile alone was enough to catch her attention! The two hit it off and eventually they were happy to announce a new addition, Grayson, to the Wagner family.
The course of Josh’s life was filled with wonderful memories, but he also faced the challenge of addiction. Like many, he had good times and bad, but through it all he had the support of his family and friends. He didn’t let his addiction define him—Josh was a kind, generous individual who cared greatly for others. He will be missed by his parents, Tim and Mary Kay Wagner; sister, Cassandra (Jon) Evans; brother, Jacob (Jamie) Wagner; young son and his mother, Grayson and Brittany; nephew, Elliot Evans; niece, Clara Wagner; grandmothers, Lorraine Borka and Eileen Wagner.
Josh will be greeted in heaven by his grandfathers, Michael Wagner and Norbert Borka.
The Wagner family is cared for by the staff of Balllard-Sunder Funeral Home & Cremation.

MaryKay & Tim and family. We just heard today about Josh’s passing. So sorry for your loss. We won’t be able to be at any of the farewell services, but you will be in our thoughts. Tell Lorraine we are thinking of her also.
Tim & Mary Kay & family, my deepest sympathies.
Mary and Tim, I am so very sorry for the heartbreaking loss of Josh. May God give you strength to endure each moment forward.
Mary and Tim and family,
May God give you all the strength for the days ahead and light for the way.
I met Josh only once, and he left an impact on me with only that one meeting. I was with my sister and we were hanging out with a group of friends at a bonfire in the country. After the bonfire a friend brought us to Josh’s place in Webster, and he offered my sister and me a bowl of some soup he had made. It was delicious! He sat and talked with us, and even with our brief meeting, I could see his magnetic personality come out! He really was a kind and gentle soul! He will be greatly missed by many!! My thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family and everyone that had their lives touched by this special guy!
Mary Kay and Tim. My heart goes out to you both and your whole family. I am so very sorry for the loss of your son Josh. I know if Bob was still with us, he would give you a huge hug, (So would I!) Prayers, love and hugs to all of you and your family.
