Joshua L. Scaiano, age 41, of Crystal, MN, went to be with his Lord Jesus after a 4 year battle with Isolated Central Nervous System Vasculitis. Josh was born to Roger and Becky on April 21st, 1977 in Dayton, Ohio. After great persistence, he graduated high school by earning his GED later in life. He worked 19 years at Broadway Rental in Brooklyn Park, MN as a small engines mechanic and was still convinced he worked there just one week ago, despite his massive brain injuries! He enjoyed cars, disc golf, movies and gaming, but mostly spending time with family & friends. Josh loved music! The variety of genres were endless, and believe it or not, one of his favorite artist was Celine Dion. He had such a huge heart and
was the most loving man; a big teddy bear
