I am so sorry to hear of Josh. I did not know until I read Ashleys message to Gabie about Josh yesterday on her memorial site, otherwise I would have been there. No words can help now or will ever, but if you ever want to talk of his wonderful life please know I am here.

Josh will be missed by all. He was a great man with a good heart. I will always remember Josh, and the times we had at the shop and on the paintball field. Everytime I hear the Chili Peppers, Josh will be in my heart.

Josh was an outstanding fella. He was loyal, kind, and dug some pretty awesome tunes. I always enjoyed the time we spent together and will never forget the laughs we shared.
My heart goes out to all who feel the same.
May he rest in peace.

Josh spent many weekends at my house when he was in high school, with my son Cory. He was a very smart, nice, pleasant, funny, and thoughtful person. I have thought of him often, and am very sorry to hear of his loss. We will always remember him.

Our heartfelt sorrow for your loss. Words cannot express our shock and sadness at hearing this painful news. Josh was one of the sweetest kids we’ve ever known. He was Alex’s lifelong friend. They started hangin when they were two and three. He was like a second big brother to Will, Matt and Eric. He was smart and thoughtful and a very talented artist. Though you never knew what body art, piercings, hair style or hair color he might show up with next he always brought happiness and fellowship with him. He was one of the best people we’ve ever had the privilege to meet and we feel blessed that we had the opportunity to know him.
