Josh J. Beury, 44, of Nesquehoning, died on Monday August 18th in Coaldale PA.  Born in Coaldale, he was the son of George H. and the late Jane (Kovatch) Beury.   Josh worked as an assembler for the Kovatch Corporation and was a graduate of the Panther Valley Class of 1999.  He enjoyed four-wheeling up the broad mountain and the outdoors.  In addition to his father, George, he is survived by a sister Lisa Beury-Russo and husband Garrett of Alexandria VA, nephews Ben and Luca Russo, aunts, uncles and cousins.  Per the wishes of the family, services for Josh will be private.

His sister, Lisa, offers the following thoughts, "Earlier this week, my brother left this life. We haven't been close for years, but once upon a time we were two kids who read, laughed, and smiled together. I'm grieving everything that was, wasn't, and might have been.  I'm finding comfort in this adaptation of the Hawaiian Ho'oponopono practice: Josh, I love you. Thank you. I forgive you. Please forgive me."
