Joshua Merriman

Joshua Daniel Merriman was born without life on January 30, 2011, and was received into the loving arms of His Heavenly Father. Joshua’s parents enjoyed and will remember his constant activity in the womb. His birth was greatly anticipated, and he will be deeply missed. He was survived by parents, Jacob & Caroline (Richle) Merriman; grandparents Larry & Marty (Sundstrom) Merriman of Sioux Falls, SD and Roland & Roxanne (Lee) Richle of Geneva, Switzerland; aunts and uncles Pete & Sarah (Merriman) Hansen, Rebekah Merriman, Joseph Merriman, Caleb Merriman of Sioux Falls, SD, and Stephane Richle of Geneva, Switzerland; great-grandparents Donald Merirman of Beresford, SD, Mae Sundstrom of Beresford, SD, and Orren & Carole Lee of Sioux Falls, SD; and cousins Madison, Oscar & Ira Hansen of Sioux Falls, SD. They are taking comfort from the encouragement and promise of Joshua 1:9: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” A memorial service will be conducted on Friday, February 4, 2011, at 2:00 p.m. at the Cheyenne Evangelical Free Church with Pastor Dave Carlson officiating. Cremation is under the direction of Schrader Funeral Home.
