‘Below Deck’ Captain Lee Rosbach Reveals His Son Died Of Addiction After 20 Year Struggle!
Captain Lee Rosbach’s son, Joshua Rosbach, died from addiction after a 20-year “struggle” — the Below Deck star revealed on Monday.
“This past Saturday, my beloved wife Mary Anne and I laid our youngest son, Joshua Lee Rosbach to rest. After a twenty year struggle, he finally succumbed to the demons he fought so long and so hard,” the Bravoleb wrote in a heart-breaking Instagram post.
“Addiction is an insidious disease that knows no social status or geographic boundaries. Whether you live in a 10,000 sq ft mansion or a double wide trailer, the path of death, destruction and devastation it leaves remains the same,” the devastated father wrote.
Captain Lee shared a photo of his son along with a message from his family.
“We loved Josh unconditionally and were proud of the man he had become in spite of his problems. There was no one i ever knew who gave more of himself to those in his life. He loved with all his being without expecting anything in return. We both feel a hole in our souls that will never be filled.”
He concluded his post with: “So my message to those of you who are fighting this disease, find a way to get help no matter what. For those of you who have a friend, family member, son, or daughter who’s struggling, do what ever it takes to get them the help they need. Be kind and loving, and try to enjoy every second you have with them. Do not pray for our son, but please take care of your children and friends who may need it, as it isn’t too late for them. Captain & Mary Anne.”
