Joshua McPhail

Joshua McPhail, 46, of Strafford, passed away Aug. 14, 2026. He was born on July 8, 1980, in Springfield to Tommy McPhail and Susan Yocom. On May 31, 2013, He and Amanda Beyen were united in marriage and shared over 13 years together. 
He found joy in the simple things in life and especially enjoyed anything that allowed him to be outdoors. He loved riding four-wheelers and side-by-sides, cruising in his hot rod and admiring others, and spending time cutting wood. He was truly a hunter of all things—whether it was deer, fish, shed antlers, mushrooms, or just about anything else that could be “hunted,” he was always up for the adventure.
He is survived by his wife, Amanda; children, Megan Medley and husband Zeb, Gavin Spears; granddaughter and another grandbaby on the way; parents Susan and Arnie Adams, Tom and Denise McPhail; siblings, Chrissi Robinson and Patch, Grace Durst and Colby, Krista Jeffreys and Paul, Chad Adams and Whitney. 
He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Barbara Yocom, Charles Yocom, Tom and Sue McPhail; and step-father, Bruce Angel. 
Visitation was on Friday, Aug. 21,  at Wilson-Griffin Funeral Home, Walnut Grove.
