Josh grew up in St. Martin with the love of his family, friends and sports. Everyone that knew him, loved him. He always made you smile and was the life of the party.

During college he met the love of his life, Katie Brintnall and they were later married on May 15, 2010 and had a beautiful daughter, Isla. Katie is expecting their second child in May 2014. Josh always said being a husband and father was the happiest he's ever been.

Josh loved playing baseball and played with his brother Jake on the St. Martin's baseball team for nine years. Later he played for the Cannon Falls Bears with his brother-in-law Bubba Brintnall. He also continued his love of sports by sharing his talents with a younger generation by being an assistant varsity baseball coach for Hastings High School in Hastings, MN. Josh was loved and respected by his teammates, coaches and fans. As he would say "Fun to watch!!!"
