I wish you had the chance to experience all the great things that life had to offer. You always wanted to get out of town & go somewhere exciting. I hope whatever is on the other side of this life is just as fullfilling to you.

I still cant believe your not here josh : ( it seems like yesterday we were young rotten teenagers out messing around with people. i remember we used to joke about my dad sleep walking all the time. haha God i miss you. and your beautiful smile. its so hard sometimes to see your parents cuhz when i look at them all i can see is you. its rly hard to realize you wont be here for our birthday next month. but i pray God gives you the biggest birthday hug from me and lets you know that we all miss you very much and that we will all see you somday soon in heaven. My thoughts and prayers still Go out to Joshes family and close loved ones for i myself know that this have been extremley hard for all of us.

Good Morning Josh. What a beautiful day it is. It is one of those days that make me think of you. The sun is shining, birds are chirping, the smell of summer is in the air. Just the kind of day that would be made for fun and hot wings on the grill... (Your favorite at my house) I spoke with Shannon yesterday, she sends her love. I am going to fly out to Oklahoma the end of August to spend my birthday with her. I am so excited. I hope and pray that your family and friends are doing well. This has been hard for all of us, but with our Faith in God and the knowledge that you are here in our hearts, and in Heaven above waiting to greet us when we get there, we are getting through each day. I miss you so much and I look forward to getting to see you again. As always, I love you.

Joshey,
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I knew we recently grew apart, but time does that to people. You were, and always will be, such a big part of my life. I miss you so much, Joshey. I can't wait to see you, again, one day. I love you.

Joshua,
I thought of you so many times yesterday as we celebrated Easter. To know that you are with Our Father above and His son on such a special day, made me both happy and Sad. Happy because you are so Blessed to be with Him, and sad, because your person is not here with us. I got to watch my 3 awesome grandsons search for Easter Eggs, and thought about how you and Shannon would have been doing the same if the chance had been there. Like 2 big kids, enjoying the fun of it all, laughing, joking, smiling and yet, knowing that the real reason was ours to been seen in the future. In reality, I suppose that means you are already in our future. How Glorious that must be. Keep your Angel wings wrapped tightly around your family and friends, watch over them and keep them safe. Know you are never farther from myself than the first thought I have about you. You are in my heart and prayers. Miss you terribly and love you always.

To Joshua's family,
I pray that you are starting to fill some of those empty spots with the wonderful memories, laughter and tears that Josh brought to all of us. I pray things are beginning to slow down, and that life will start to become more bearable and less painful with each passing day. It may not get said as much now that a small amount of time has past, but you are all still in the thoughts and prayers of many. Keep the strength that you have found with each other, and let it help you to heal.

Dear Marcia and Jim,
My heart is so heavy for your family!! We all loved Josh and all of the memories we have of him throughout his life. I can't imagine the heavy and hurting hearts you have right now. Just know I love you all and breathe a prayer for you several times a day. A memory I have of Josh is him always coming and just standing in front of me through the years and saying, "Hey Ms. Henkle." Smiling as he always did and letting me know he was there for me. Love you guys, Stacy Henkle

Marcia:
Speaking on behalf of the Amanda Butcher-Smith family, we were so sorry to hear of the tragedy your family has suffered. Although we didn't really know Josh, our own children are approximately the same age, so the thought of losing one so young would bring unbearable or unspeakable grief and heartache. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. May God comfort you during this time of sorrow.

I will miss you so much josh you were truely a good friend that will never be forgotten. People may die but they live forever in our hearts and memories. Ill never for get how you were the only person to ever get my last name right on the first try and you never stopped calling me by that lol. We will see you again one day, and we will all be happy with no stress or worry. R.I.P. Josh

Josh, you were a good friend. You never cared what people thought,and I really admired that. We had a lot of fun and I wish we could have had a chance for more. Every memory of you that I have lightens my heart. From throwing walnuts in Walmart, to you getting me to get courageous enough to pull out my tooth in class. I'll miss you buddy.

Hearing the news of Joshs dealth later Tuesday evening immediatly sent goose bumps shooting threw my body. Not 15 hours before the sad news,around 2am that very Tuesday morning, I began telling our funny stories and memories of high school. Although most of those memories we skipped school. Many of us had lost contact over the years, and wondered were he might have ended up in life. As the night wore down I preceded to bed telling myself "Tomorrow - find Josh, call Josh, plan a day to see Josh."
Waking up the very next day, and hearing of the ghostly news of Josh's dealth, is a feeling I can not discribe. Knowing now that about the same time Josh might have been suffering, I was sharing our memories. Joshs dealth will always have a huge effect in my life. I will think of you every day, and pray for your family. Save me a seat next to the big guy!
Love

Josh, today was one of the most hardest days ive ever had to go through and one of the most painfull goodbyes ive ever had to say. through out my time of knowing you, youve always tought me some sort of lesson in life and even now.. in death youve taught me lessons. Never give up on someone even if your tired of trying and to always keep your friends close no matter what. during the service your pastor asked a question... he asked "what would josh want you to do"? i thought to my selfwhat would you want? and it came clear to me almost as if it were you speeking to me that you would want us all to not fight over you but to support eachother and become friends and share the many memories that we have of you with one another. I promise ill try my hardest for you. I asked Jesus to give you a big hug for me. i love you. and im gonna miss your smile. We all will.

Jim and Marcia - When I lost James someone gave me this message and I always have it posted on my computer screen so I see and read it every day. "May your Loving Remembrances always Shine through the Pains of the Nights." My prayers are with you.

It kills me to know that I won't ever see him again. I've missed him since I left Florida but we've always kept in touch. I don't know what I'll do without his phone calls and his promises to come visit me. I'll always remember going to church with him and his mom or our ideas that only sounded good at the time. He's the only person I could always count on and he'll always be with me and never forgotten.

Just wanted to mention now that you're gone, life for me is going to be extremely hard, and I want you to help me and watch over me as much as you can. It's sad that when you passed we were engaged and now I have to live on with that never being completely fufilled, our marriage. I still love you and like I said, guide me throught my life and like I said, we will soon be together again.
Your wife,

Josh,
You were the love of my life, and you still are, always will be. You are my baby, my heart and my soul, and I was yours. Forever, even after death..I will be with you some day bby, we all will be up in heaven together. I've been with you since you were 18 yrs old and I'm not giving up now that you have passed away. We will meet again once my times comes also and we will be together for eternity. I love you and I miss you and you were the best thing to ever happened to me. God bless Josh's whole family too. All of you are in my prayers and I am going to attend the funeral. It's going to be the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life but it's for the man I fell in love with and who died being in love with. I LOVE YOU JOSHUA WAYNE PERDUE.

To Josh's family, I pray that you know what a joy and honor it was to have been a part of this life. The many hours he spent at our house with Shannon, and the others has given her and I both some of the most wonderful memories to hold on to. His smile will always be embedded in my mind, his laughter in my ears, and his love in the beauty that I see every new day. May you find Peace and Comfort in the prayers that we are all praying for you. Your sacrifice is the greatest gift of all. Now we all have a Guardian Angel watching over us. God Bless You and lean on Him, as He will guide you through this.
