Joshua Seth Nachlas

It is with deep sadness we share that on May 1, 2019 our sweet Joshua Seth Nachlas lost his life in a fatal car accident near his home in Pflugerville Texas. He will be remembered for his love of his family (especially Samantha and their 3 wonderful kids) his incredible smile, his open heart, fantastic wit and sense of humor. Josh was a graduate of Blue Valley North High School in Leawood Kansas. He continued his education at the University of Kansas (Rock Chalk!) in Lawrence and completed his education in the Physicians Assistant program at Cornell School of Medicine in New York City. As a P.A. he worked in various disciplines of the medical field and earned the respect of his professional peers as well as touched many lives through his patient care. As his family and friends learned of his passing, we started receiving heartfelt messages of what Josh meant to so many … They reminisce about his ever-present smile and the warmth, depth and intelligence behind it.Josh cared about people in the purest way. He loved them for who they were and because he wished the best for them, without guile and without asking anything in return. Most of all, we recall the sheer pleasure of his company, how good he made everyone feel, how free they were to be themselves around him, and how much we will all miss him. As one of his close friends wrote, “What you saw was always what you got with him, and what you saw – if you were lucky enough to be his friend – was truly delightful, generous, easy-going, fun-loving human being.” “Josh is an angel now because Mommy said that when nice people die they become angels.” “Every time we went on a vacation, he would take these deep breaths when we would do something new and I always thought that was so cool because he was literally breathing in every new adventure. He had a positivity and an energy that cannot be duplicated and I know I will try to live my life much more like you did from now on. We love you so much and I will always cherish the memories we had together with our family” "Josh had so much goodness, so much capacity to bring happiness to others and such a bright future. The world is a lesser place without him" Josh is survived by his wonderful partner in life, Samantha Luna. Their two beautiful sons, Isaiha and Xavier and their sweet daughter, Lilah Aviv. His Father, Dr. Michael Nachlas and his wife, Kerri of Overland Park KS. His Mother, Judy Levine Volchik and her husband Yehiel of Boynton Beach, Florida. His adoring sister, Rebecca Beth Nachlas as well as loving step-siblings, Tyler Patrick and his wife Shawna, Sara Davis and her husband Mike, Jennifer Volchik , Leora Freire and her husband Fred, as well as many loving aunts, uncles and cousins. Thank you to all of you that have reached out to us in love and support. We have felt it all and find comfort in your words. In lieu of flowers, we will be setting up education funds for the three children which can be found on GoFundMe.
