JOSHUA CRAIG SORENSON

Joshua C. Sorenson, 44, of Cass City passed away unexpectedly Sunday, March 15, 2026. He was born May 2, 1981 in Cass City to Craig and Carolyn (Smith) Sorenson.

Josh attended Owen-Gage schools, then Cass City High School graduating with the class of 2000. He also attended the Tuscola Technology Center where he excelled in automotive technology, competing at state and national levels earning first place in state and second place in national Motorsport mechanics.

Early in his life he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior and followed in believer’s baptism. He had attended Calvary Chapel in Vassar; recently, First Baptist Church in Cass City and Celebrate Recovery in Caro. One of his favorite hymns was “I’d Rather Have Jesus”. His family finds comfort that he is safe in the arms of Jesus. Through it all he found comfort in his faith and loved the old hymns. He enjoyed watching faith-based, on location documentaries of the Holy lands. He remarked that he wished he’d seen them a lot earlier in life.

Josh was known for his natural problem-solving abilities, mechanical talent, and his deep love of motorcycles, tractors, and old cars. He could often be found fixing, tinkering, and pulling over to admire tractors at local retailers. Josh had a unique sense of humor and a very distinct laugh that could fill a room. His laughter brought joy to those around him. More than anything, Josh loved his daughters, Morgan and Lilly, who meant the world to him. He also cared deeply for his nieces and nephews and cherished the time he spent with them.

Josh is survived by his parents: Craig and Carolyn Sorenson of Cass City; daughters: Morgan and Lilly; brothers: Jared (Kassy) Sorenson of Cass City along with their children: Isaac, Ian, Owen, Ander, and Lydia; Justin (Lynzie) Sorenson of Vassar and their children: Henley, Ashton, Marlie, Addie, and Alister; sister, Caitlin (Ryan) Grimshaw of Clarkston and their children: Soren, Lennon, Emmy, Ivy, and Sylvie. He is preceded in death by his grandparents: Richard (Mary) Smith and Harold (Lillian) Sorenson.

Josh will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. His life reminds us that every person is more that their struggles, and he will be remembered for his laughter, his love for his family, and the memories he leaves behind.
