Joshua Lynn Hanback

Joshua Lynn Hanback, loving son, brother and friend to so many died Wednesday, March 22 at his home surrounded by family at the age of 24. Many say Josh never met a stranger, and the same is sure to be said of his time in Heaven. Josh was a graduate from Florence High School and a member of Florence First Assembly, but just those two don't account for all the people that knew and loved him across Alabama and into other states. During the pandemic, Josh started a TikTok account, sharing his love of the Lord with people all across the country. His passion for sharing the message of Christ began at an early age and was first instilled and nourished by his late grandfather, Thomas "Buddy" Hopwood.  Josh was always able to see the good, even when it was surrounded by bad. Josh was at his best when he could be with those he loved, even when he was sick. He always enjoyed the visits from friends, family and loved ones. Not one visit went unnoticed by Josh, even in his last days. 

Visitation will be Sunday, March 26, 2023 from 5-8 p.m. at Greenview Funeral Home. The funeral service will be Monday, March 27, 2023 at 11 a.m. in the funeral home chapel. Officiating will be Greg Woodall. Burial will follow in Greenview Memorial Park.

Josh is survived by his parents, Chris and Amy Hanback; his sister, Taelor Hopwood; grandparents Barbara Hopwood, Wendell and Janice Green and David and Barbara Hanback. He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Thomas Hopwood. 

The Hanback family would like to thank the nursing staff that were so crucial in taking care of Josh in his final days, including Melissa Swader and Kelly Brewer.
