Reports concerning the death of Joshua “Josh” Simpson, a former player associated with North Beach Football Club in Western Australia, have brought sadness and concern to people connected with the club and the wider football community.
Josh’s name appears in official North Beach Football Club records, confirming that he represented the club during his playing career.
However, as of the latest information available, no verified funeral notice, family announcement, official club tribute, or established news report reviewed for this article has publicly confirmed his death.
For that reason, details surrounding his reported passing remain limited and should not be treated as established until further information is released.
Who Was Josh Simpson?
Joshua “Josh” Simpson was connected with North Beach Football Club, one of Western Australia’s longstanding community football organisations.
North Beach Football Club was established in 1964 and is based at Charles Riley Reserve in North Beach, Western Australia. The club has developed a strong reputation within community football and has fielded numerous senior, reserve, colts and women’s teams over the years.
Josh appeared within that football environment as a player.
A North Beach Football Club match report from the 2022 season specifically named Josh Simpson in the Brett Jones Colts team, describing his return to the defensive unit during a convincing victory over Kalamunda.
The club report noted that Simpson performed strongly in defence as North Beach held Kalamunda to only two goals in the match.
Josh Simpson’s Connection to North Beach Football Club
Community sporting clubs often become much more than places where matches are played.
For players, the experience can involve years of training sessions, friendships, team celebrations, difficult losses and relationships that continue long after someone stops playing competitively.
Josh Simpson’s documented involvement with North Beach placed him within a club with a long history and a substantial network of players, former players, volunteers and supporters.
North Beach describes itself as one of the country’s largest and most successful community sporting clubs, with a history dating back more than six decades.
For former players, those connections can remain meaningful even after their time on the field has ended.
Reports of Josh Simpson’s Death
Recent online references have described Joshua “Josh” Simpson as deceased and have prompted searches for obituary and memorial information.
At this stage, however, the circumstances surrounding his reported passing have not been independently verified through reliable public sources reviewed for this report.
No confirmed information is currently available establishing:
the date of his reported death, the cause of death, his age at the time of death, or official funeral and memorial arrangements.
Those details should therefore not be assumed or repeated as fact without confirmation from Simpson’s family, North Beach Football Club, a funeral provider, or another authoritative source.
North Beach Football Community and Former Players
North Beach Football Club has a long tradition of honouring people who have contributed to the organisation.
Over the years, the club has published memorial tributes for deceased players, administrators and volunteers who played important roles in building its culture.
For example, the club has previously published detailed memorial notices recognising longtime contributors and documenting how their work influenced generations of North Beach players and supporters.
The wider Perth football community similarly maintains strong links between current players and those who represented their clubs in earlier seasons.
That tradition helps explain why reports involving the passing of a former player can resonate far beyond immediate family members.
Remembering Josh Simpson as a Footballer
While verified biographical information about Josh Simpson remains limited, North Beach Football Club’s own records preserve part of his time as a player.
The 2022 match report shows him contributing in defence for the club’s Colts side during the closing stages of the regular season.
North Beach defeated Kalamunda 61–16 in that game, with the club highlighting the defensive performance as one of the reasons for the victory.
For former teammates and coaches, however, memories of a player often extend well beyond statistics.
Training sessions, conversations in the changing rooms, team trips and friendships formed through football frequently become the experiences people remember most.
Funeral and Memorial Information
No verified funeral service, burial arrangement or celebration-of-life information for Joshua “Josh” Simpson was publicly available through reliable sources reviewed at the time of publication.
If his death is formally confirmed, details may later be released by his family, a funeral home, or North Beach Football Club.
Until then, social-media posts containing specific funeral dates, causes of death or family information should be independently checked before being republished.
North Beach Community Awaits Further Information
Reports of the passing of someone connected with a community sports club can quickly generate messages of sympathy and remembrance.
For North Beach Football Club, generations of players have represented the club since its establishment in 1964, creating a broad community that extends across former players, coaches, volunteers and supporters.
Josh Simpson forms part of that recorded playing history.
As people search for information regarding his reported death, the focus should remain on verified details and respect for his family and those who knew him personally.
Remembering Joshua “Josh” Simpson
Joshua “Josh” Simpson’s connection with North Beach Football Club is documented through the club’s own match reports, which record his contribution as a defender during his playing years.
If reports of his death are formally confirmed, those who shared the football field, training sessions and friendships with him will have their own memories of the person behind the name.
For now, however, the reported passing of Josh Simpson remains unconfirmed through authoritative public sources.
Further information concerning his death, family and memorial arrangements should be added only after an official announcement becomes available.
