Joshua Heisie Obituary
Joshua Clayton Heisie (born 4/10/1989) passed away Saturday, January 25th 2020 as a result of a motor vehicle accident in Prince Edward County, Ontario. Josh will always be remembered as an immensely creative person who harbored a passion for acting, comedy, screenwriting, art, and cinema. At the time of his death, Josh was near completion on the screenplays for his first series of feature films set in a stylized dystopian Canadian future, working as Game Master of Escape Camp Picton, and performing with an improv comedy group Taste That in Picton, Ontario.
A native of the Crowsnest Pass, Josh’s creative pursuits brought him to Toronto and Prince Edward County where he touched the lives of countless people as a friend, inspiration, and creative muse. His signature can be seen throughout those communities, in murals at local schools, artwork, and in the minds of those who watched his films like “Egg People from Outer Space” and "Mail Order Bride".. Josh had the ability to create entire worlds in his imagination and draw people into it through his excitement and vision until they could all see and feel it. The loss of his unique outlook on life is tremendous.
He is survived by his parents, Lorna and Stanley Heisie, his brother Matthew Heisie, and his grandparents Charles Heisie and Barbara Basaraba. He is predeceased by his grandmother Patricia Heisie (1943-2019).
