JOSHUA O'NEIL

December 10, 1997 - June 19, 2015

JOSHUA (POTTS) O’NEIL Born in Tacoma, WA, Josh spent most of his 17 years in Prescott struggling with Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy and Cerebral Palsy.

He was also the local Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Ambassador at Lowe’s and White Spar Safeway. His accepting attitude of his challenges and the way he lived had a lasting ripple effect that impacted those who knew him or have heard his story.
