Joshua Lee Hibbits, of Kirkwood, Missouri, passed away on October 10, 2025. Josh was born on July 6, 1977 to Steven L. And Tricia L. Hibbits in Farmington, Missouri. He worked as an Account Director at Cushman Wakefield, where he was a well respected leader.
After graduating from Oakville High School, Josh attended and graduated from Mizzou. He found his career at CW and other companies to be challenging and rewarding.
From a young age, he was known as a bright, talented, and funny individual. He could cut up and make us all laugh, and also be the most compassionate and supportive person during difficult and challenging times.
Josh was the kind of person who made friends for life. He had a tight group of friends from high school and college that got together frequently. They were football fans, poker buddies, vacation partners, party animals, and mutual supports for each other. He cherished those friendships always and considered them his extended family.
Josh was also an animal lover. The two dogs and cat in his home lived their best life, for sure. He was a huge advocate for pet adoption and an active supporter of many animal rescue organizations.
Josh’s daughter, Alana, was the greatest joy of his life and his whole world. They loved going to Mizzou football games together. He also loved watching Laney swim, do gymnastics, play the violin, excel in school, and act silly. He excelled at embarrassing her, which she reminded him of frequently.
Josh was preceded in death by his grandparents, Maxine (aka Cookie Grandma) and Gordon Hibbits. He is survived by his parents Steve and Susan Hibbits, his beautiful daughter Laney Hibbits, brother Jake Hibbits (Jenni), uncle Bill Hibbits (Karen), cousins Jason Hibbits (Erin) and Joe Hibbits (Nancy), nieces and nephews and second cousins, Brianna, Brent, Madison, Josie, Tucker, Asher and Ryann and many other friends and family.
A memorial visitation for Josh will be at Kutis South County Chapel, 5255 Lemay Ferry Road on Saturday October 18th from 12 noon until time of service at 2PM. Following the service, there will be a celebration of his life at Royal Orleans, 2801 Telegraph Road. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to your local animal rescue organization.
