Plaza Rehab Chiropractic mourns the loss and celebrates the life of this extraordinary human. Please pray for the Proffit family and our community. Fly high, Josh ❤️🕊❤️

Joshua Daniel Proffit (July 22, 1991- August 18, 2026) - affectionate husband, astounding girl dad, loving son, dedicated pharmacist, and devoted friend. Josh was born in Tucson, Arizona, but eventually landed in Hot Springs, Arkansas with his parents and sister.

He spent the majority of his life there attending Lake Hamilton High School where he became a football legend and made countless friends. He attended Southern Arkansas University where he played college football for the Muleriders for his entire college career.

Upon graduating SAU, Josh attended the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences College of Pharmacy where he earned his Doctorate of Pharmacy Degree and met his wife, Bethany Boyle Proffit. They wed in 2018, began their careers at Hickory Hill Pharmacy in 2019, opened Biscuit Blues Nutrition in 2020, welcomed their beautiful daughter into the world in 2021, purchased Hickory Hill Pharmacy in 2023, and moved into their dream home in Helena a few months later.

Josh was a loving husband, father, son, brother, and grandson. He is survived by his wife Bethany Boyle Proffit and daughter Noralynn Marie Proffit, parents Mark and Mari Proffit, sister Samantha Proffit Taylor (Dustin Taylor), nephew Arthas Taylor, grandmothers
Judy Proffit and Jadeen Robinson, and a host of uncles, aunts, and cousins. Josh is preceded in death by his grandfathers William J. Robinson and Dennis Proffit.

Josh had more hobbies than he had time for - hunting duck and deer, golfing, attending Grizzly games, playing video games with Noralynn, and watching football games. He was a pillar in the pharmacy community - Josh went to bat for his patients always going above and beyond. Everyone that stepped foot into Hickory Hill Pharmacy was greeted with a personalized welcome and warm smile. His smile and laugh were truly infectious; he had a natural way of making everyone feel welcomed and loved. He was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone that asked - anytime of the day or night. Josh made an impact on every single life he encountered. There was never a shortage of love when it came to Josh; he truly was the epitome of what a friend should be. The relationship Josh made with those around him - friends, patients, employees, family, colleagues - was the purest and most loyal form of relationship anyone could ever experience. Josh was not only a boss to his employees, he quickly became a role model, friend, or father figure to all of them. If you knew Josh, you knew he had the silliest, happy-go-lucky personality that drew everyone in and kept everyone laughing. He has left a legacy.

Josh will be mourned deeply by everyone who knew and loved him. His memory will remain in the hearts of his family, friends, and all those who were honored to have had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy will live on for generations to come, inspiring
those around him with his generosity, kindness, dedication, and unforgettable spirit. His family will remember him for his steady love, gentle teasing, lifelong memories, and the way he turned ordinary days into something special.

Visitation will be at Hope Church in Helena, Arkansas, on August 25 from Noon-2:00 PM. The funeral service will begin at 2:00 PM followed by the graveside service at Sunset Memorial Park Cemetery. In honor of Josh’s love for his daughter Noralynn, and being an honorary member of the DeSoto Thunderbird family, memorials can be sent to DeSoto School, PO Box 2807, West Helena, AR 72390.

Stay hydrated ALWAYS!!

Our June heat wave rolls on.

Heat waves kill by overwhelming the body’s ability to regulate its internal temperature, leading to heatstroke, organ damage and cardiovascular failure.

An ER nurse says this is the best description of a woman having a heart attack that she has ever heard. Please read, pay attention, and SHARE..........

FEMALE HEART ATTACKS

I was aware that female heart attacks are different, but this is the best description I've ever read.

Women rarely have the same dramatic symptoms that men have ... you know, the sudden stabbing pain in the chest, the cold sweat, grabbing the chest & dropping to the floor that we see in movies. Here is the story of one woman's experience with a heart attack.

I had a heart attack at about 10:30 PM with NO prior exertion, NO prior emotional trauma that one would suspect might have brought it on. I was sitting all snugly & warm on a cold evening, with my purring cat in my lap, reading an interesting story my friend had sent me, and actually thinking, 'A-A-h, this is the life, all cozy and warm in my soft, cushy Lazy Boy with my feet propped up.

A moment later, I felt that awful sensation of indigestion, when you've been in a hurry and grabbed a bite of sandwich and washed it down with a dash of water, and that hurried bite seems to feel like you've swallowed a golf ball going down the esophagus in slow motion and it is most uncomfortable. You realize you shouldn't have gulped it down so fast and needed to chew it more thoroughly and this time drink a glass of water to hasten its progress down to the stomach. This was my initial sensation--the only trouble was that I hadn't taken a bite of anything since about 5:00 p.m.

After it seemed to subside, the next sensation was like little squeezing motions that seemed to be racing up my SPINE (hind-sight, it was probably my aorta spasms), gaining speed as they continued racing up and under my sternum (breast bone, where one presses rhythmically when administering CPR).

This fascinating process continued on into my throat and branched out into both jaws. 'AHA!! NOW I stopped puzzling about what was happening -- we all have read and/or heard about pain in the jaws being one of the signals of an MI happening, haven't we? I said aloud to myself and the cat, Dear God, I think I'm having a heart attack!

I lowered the foot rest dumping the cat from my lap, started to take a step and fell on the floor instead. I thought to myself, If this is a heart attack, I shouldn't be walking into the next room where the phone is or anywhere else... but, on the other hand, if I don't, nobody will know that I need help, and if I wait any longer I may not be able to get up in a moment.

I pulled myself up with the arms of the chair, walked slowly into the next room and dialed the Paramedics... I told her I thought I was having a heart attack due to the pressure building under the sternum and radiating into my jaws. I didn't feel hysterical or afraid, just stating the facts. She said she was sending the Paramedics over immediately, asked if the front door was near to me, and if so, to un-bolt the door and then lie down on the floor where they could see me when they came in.

I unlocked the door and then laid down on the floor as instructed and lost consciousness, as I don't remember the medics coming in, their examination, lifting me onto a gurney or getting me into their ambulance, or hearing the call they made to St. Jude ER on the way, but I did briefly awaken when we arrived and saw that the radiologist was already there in his surgical blues and cap, helping the medics pull my stretcher out of the ambulance. He was bending over me asking questions (probably something like 'Have you taken any medications?') but I couldn't make my mind interpret what he was saying, or form an answer, and nodded off again, not waking up until the Cardiologist and partner had already threaded the teeny angiogram balloon up my femoral artery into the aorta and into my heart where they installed 2 side by side stints to hold open my right coronary artery.

I know it sounds like all my thinking and actions at home must have taken at least 20-30 minutes before calling the paramedics, but actually it took perhaps 4-5 minutes before the call, and both the fire station and St Jude are only minutes away from my home, and my Cardiologist was already to go to the OR in his scrubs and get going on restarting my heart (which had stopped somewhere between my arrival and the procedure) and installing the stents.
Why have I written all of this to you with so much detail? Because I want all of you who are so important in my life to know what I learned first hand.

1. Be aware that something very different is happening in your body, not the usual men's symptoms but inexplicable things happening (until my sternum and jaws got into the act). It is said that many more women than men die of their first (and last) MI because they didn't know they were having one and commonly mistake it as indigestion, take some Maalox or other anti-heartburn preparation and go to bed, hoping they'll feel better in the morning when they wake up... which doesn't happen. My female friends, your symptoms might not be exactly like mine, so I advise you to call the Paramedics if ANYTHING is unpleasantly happening that you've not felt before. It is better to have a 'false alarm' visitation than to risk your life guessing what it might be!

2. Note that I said 'Call the Paramedics.' And if you can take an aspirin. Ladies, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!

Do NOT try to drive yourself to the ER - you are a hazard to others on the road.

Do NOT have your panicked husband who will be speeding and looking anxiously at what's happening with you instead of the road.

Do NOT call your doctor -- he doesn't know where you live and if it's at night you won't reach him anyway, and if it's daytime, his assistants (or answering service) will tell you to call the Paramedics. He doesn't carry the equipment in his car that you need to be saved! The Paramedics do, principally OXYGEN that you need ASAP. Your Dr. will be notified later.

3. Don't assume it couldn't be a heart attack because you have a normal cholesterol count. Research has discovered that a cholesterol elevated reading is rarely the cause of an MI (unless it's unbelievably high and/or accompanied by high blood pressure). MIs are usually caused by long-term stress and inflammation in the body, which dumps all sorts of deadly hormones into your system to sludge things up in there. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive.

A cardiologist says if everyone who sees this post would Share or re-post, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.
