Josh Mallette

Saltillo—Joshua David “Josh” Mallette passed away Sunday, September 15, 2024, as the result of a drowning accident. He was 37 years old. He was born August 27, 1987, in Washington, North Carolina to David Mallette and Jennifer Hardee Ratliff. After attending Saltillo High School, Josh entered the Army National Guard. A young man with a strong work ethic, he worked for Wal-Mart Distribution Center as a lift driver and also worked in construction for Herndon Building L.L.C. Josh loved being outdoors and enjoyed fishing, boating, and kayaking. Josh had a knack for hunting down great deals at yard sales and estate sales, taking pride in his finds.
