Joshua Schlicht was Remembered for His Sovereign Path

Joshua Joseph Schlicht, the son of Lynn Obermeier and Thomas Schlicht, was born on July 9, 1990, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

He was a beloved father, son, brother, and friend who passed away at 35 on November 28, 2026.

Josh was a force of nature from a young age and lived on his own path.

He faced many challenges and fought battles with everything he had. He always strived for self-improvement and evolutionary growth.

Moreover, he lived courageously and unapologetically.

Josh was a lifelong Seeker who was drawn to the wisdom of all traditions. Questing for deeper understandings, he immersed himself in the Bhagavad Gita, Sutras, Apocrypha, Emerald Tablets, and the Bible.

He lived his life to the fullest, touching countless souls with his infectious humor, warmth, curiosity, and gregarious spirit. He was a loving person with a kind mind, a disarming wit, and an open heart.

The center of Josh’s world was his ten-year-old daughter, Eleanor Lynn. She embodies the best of her father: an empathetic heart, the ability to love unconditionally, and the ability to forgive people.

His greatest joy was being by her side, watching her grow into the remarkable young lady she is. They shared a deep love for basketball, played together, attended Bucks games, and talked hoops endlessly.

Similarly, they loved playing video games, watching movies, having summer water balloon fights, and more.

Josh is survived by his daughter, Eleanor Lynn Schlicht; brother, Collin Schlicht; mother, Lynn Obermeier; father, Thomas Schlicht; sisters, cousins, and a vast community of family and friends whom he loved fiercely.

On the other hand, he is preceded in death by his grandparents, Walter and Mae Obermeier, and Robert and Janet Schlicht, and his uncle, Joel Obermeier.

The Schlicht family will hold a private gathering and celebrate his remarkable life.

Rest In Peace, Joshua Joseph Schlicht.
