It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we share the news that Tyla-Jade Warne passed away on the 20th of May 2025. After bravely fighting a long battle with Cystic Fibrosis, she sadly succumbed to a pulmonary embolism. She is now healed, free of pain, and resting in the arms of our Lord Jesus.

Tyla-Jade leaves behind her beloved mother and a precious 5-year-old daughter, both of whom held her heart and gave her reason to fight for so long.

To her family, we offer our deepest condolences. Our hearts break with yours, and we pray that God will carry you through this time of grief. May you find comfort in the memories shared and the legacy of love she leaves behind.

“Lord Jesus, we ask for Your strength and mercy to surround Tyla-Jade’s family in this time of unimaginable pain. Hold them close in Your embrace, comfort them in their sorrow, and give them peace that surpasses all understanding. Be especially near to her little girl, and guide her steps with Your unfailing love.”

Rest in heavenly peace,
Tyla-Jade Warne: 14 May 2003 – 20 May 2025

While words may fail to ease the pain, we pray that God’s presence surrounds you with strength, peace, and love during this difficult time.

“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.

It is with immense sadness that I must share the news that Joshua has gone to be with our Lord Jesus. While his absence leaves a profound void in the hearts of his family, friends, and loved ones, we know that today is a day of great joy in heaven.

Joshua’s life was a beacon of strength and purpose, guided by his steadfast principles of “Freedom of choice and dignity above all.” He lived and fought with unwavering courage, and his faith remained resolute, even through his battle with brain cancer. His journey, marked by an incredible spirit and profound resilience, touched all who knew him.

The past few months have been especially heartbreaking for his parents, who walked every step with him in love and support. We ask that you keep this grieving family in your prayers, as they will need strength and comfort now more than ever. Vanessa, in particular, will lean on our support in the days to come, and we stand by her and the family with open hearts.

On behalf of Arms of Mercy, we extend our deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy. Joshua’s legacy of faith and bravery will remain with us, inspiring hope and compassion for all.

We will keep everyone updated on funeral arrangements and provide details as they become available. Let us hold Joshua’s memory close, honoring the beautiful soul and faithful fighter he was till the very end.
