Joshua Simpson Obituary-Cause of Death: North Beach Football Club Mourns Former Player
The North Beach Football Club community in Perth is mourning the passing of former player Joshua Simpson, remembered by teammates, coaches, friends, and supporters as a valued member of the club family.
In a statement shared by the club, North Beach Football expressed its deep sadness following Josh’s death and reflected on the important place he held within the football community. North Beach, a long-established Perth sporting institution founded in 1964, has built its identity around community, friendship, and generations of players who have worn the club’s colors.
For Josh, that connection was highlighted through his involvement with the club’s 2022 Brett Jones Colts premiership side. Playing in the back pocket, he was part of a team that created lasting memories during a successful season.
His contribution to the premiership campaign was more than what appeared on a match sheet. Like so many players who become part of a community football club, Josh shared the everyday experiences that make football meaningful—training sessions, match days, team meetings, celebrations, and the friendships developed through years spent together.
North Beach Football Club is a significant part of the Perth football community, competing in the Perth Football League and fielding teams across senior, women’s, Colts and all-abilities competitions.
For those who knew Josh, his passing has now brought painful memories of the moments they shared with him.
Former teammates and coaches are remembering a young man who was part of their football journey and whose presence helped shape the experiences of the 2022 Colts group. The friendships created through sport often continue long after a season ends, and the loss of a former teammate can therefore be felt across an entire club community.
The 2022 premiership season will now carry an added significance for those who shared it with Josh. The photographs, celebrations, and memories from that campaign represent a chapter of his life that his teammates can continue to hold onto.
As North Beach Football Club mourns his passing, messages of sympathy and remembrance are being shared among members of the wider football community.
Josh Simpson will be remembered as a former North Beach player, a premiership teammate, and a valued member of the club family. His time with the club may have been only one part of his life, but the friendships and memories created through football remain part of the legacy he leaves behind.
At a time of profound grief, thoughts are with Josh’s family, friends, former teammates, coaches, and everyone at North Beach Football Club who knew and cared for him.
May Joshua Simpson be remembered with warmth, respect, and gratitude for the memories he gave to those who shared his journey.
