Joshua Blake

Anthony

Joshua Blake Anthony, 45, passed away on June 22, 2026, at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, after a courageous battle with a rare sarcoma. He was born in Watonga, Oklahoma, and lived a life that was anything but small.
Josh had a gift for making every room feel more alive. His charisma was impossible to resist — if you were around him, you were laughing, caught up in one of his stories, or somehow talked into something you'd never planned on doing. He lived hard, loved hard, and never left anything on the table.
He enlisted in the United States Army in October 2000 and served with distinction for a decade, including two tours in Iraq, before honorably separating in October 2010. It was a chapter that reflected the toughness and loyalty that defined him.
Josh was a devoted father to his children — Austin, Jordan, and Kynlee — and a guiding presence to his bonus children, Alex, Trevlin, and Dominic. He was preceded in death by his bonus father, Steve. He is survived by his mother, Sheila; his bonus father, Mike; his four sisters, Stacy, Kacy, Jessica, and Jamie; his girlfriend, Kaelee; his grandparents; his aunts and uncles; and a host of nieces and nephews who will carry pieces of him forward.
Services for Josh will be on Saturday, June 27, 2026 at 10:00 AM at Katie Cemetery in Katie, Oklahoma under the direction of Wooster Funeral Home.
