Joshua Hinnant

October 17, 1980 - August 15, 2020

Joshua was born in Seguin, Texas to Chico and Gloria Hinnant. He spent the first 5 years of his life living in the country running with his dogs, discovering lizards, snakes, spiders, squirrels and armadillos. In September of 1986 he joined his Mom, Dad and younger brother Matt and moved to Lodi, California just in time to start kindergarten at Tokay Colony K-6. He was so happy. Still living in the country, but now with many new friends. From there he went to Morada Middle School and then on to Tokay High, all along making more and more new friends, many of which remain remarkably close to Josh until present day. His favorite childhood memories were of him and his brother Matt enjoying baseball, karate, county fairs and his watching his favorite football team, the Dallas Cowboys. He was also an avid fan of the San Francisco Giants.

After graduating from high school Josh worked for Lodi Unified as a paraeducator assisting with special needs students. He loved that job working with those kids and said that it was so fulfilling and gratifying to help the ones that needed help the most. Later, he got a job making and selling pizza, a job that he enjoyed because, as he put it, it was fun, and he met some interesting people. But something was missing in his life. He yearned for something more career oriented and challenging. That is when he started his career in plumbing service and construction. For almost 20 years he worked for several plumbing contractors in central California all the while wanting to start up his own company. In early 2020 it happened. Hinnant Plumbing was born! Josh knew that before he sold a job, he had to sell himself and he was exceptionally good at that. His magnetic personality and his reputation as being honest, fair and always showing up led to many referrals and his company was doing exceptionally well until his untimely passing.

Joshua loved life and everything it had to offer. He loved the coast: fishing, crabbing, hours on the boogie board and he even tried surfing. He was an avid hunter, spending Spring weekends in the foothills hunting turkey and hunting deer in the Fall with both rifle and bow. He loved motorcycles, snowboarding, skate boarding, flying his drone and exploring caves. He also kept a zoo of strange pets over the years including iguana lizards, boa constrictors and a tarantula. But his biggest joy was his family.

It was New Year’s Eve, 2009 that Josh met Stacey. After dating for a brief period, he knew that he had found the love of his life. Five years later when he came home from work, Stacey presented him with a gift box with 2 baby booties inside…she was pregnant, and Josh was overcome with joy. They had a little boy and named him Joshua John Hinnant, Jr. They called him LJ for little Josh. About 22 months later, Stacey and Josh welcomed a little girl into the world. They named her Glory River Hinnant after Josh’s momma, Gloria.

From Stacey: The qualities I loved most about my Joshua

He was an incredible man. He was a loving husband and a wonderful father. He loved his family with all of his heart. He was noble, honest, warm, kindhearted and always eager to give a helping hand. His friends loved him for his fun-loving personality and loyalty. When Josh walked into a room, everyone knew it and their day got better because he brightened the mood and morale lifted. His handsome smile and warm voice could keep you captivated in a story and he always had a fun way of making everyone feel welcome and included. His work ethic was admirable. He could be trusted and counted on. He was a man of his word. Josh was easy going. He never stressed about the small stuff and he exhibited a peaceful assurance that everything was always going to work out.


Joshua’s passing was preceded by his mother, Gloria Louise Hinnant. His spirit is with his dad, Chico Hinnant, his dearest love and life partner Stacey Licciardi, his son and daughter LJ and Glory Hinnant, brother Matthew and sister in law Fontessa Hinnant, his niece Peysha Hinnant and nephew Jaxon Hinnant. He also leaves behind his adorable and loving dogs, Posey and Kira. Joshua, you are with Momma now and in the arms of your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Although we no longer have your physical presence with us, your incredible, loving spirit and so many wonderful memories will be with us always.

May God bless you Joshua Hinnant. Farewell.
