It felt like the other day we were getting ready to play at Jack Murphy now Dave's boys now play for Torrey Pines? I'll see him this month for our 30th reunion and be sure to raise a glass in your honor!

Josh, saw a rugby clip on IG this weekend, smaller guy put a massive hit on a much larger opponent. I immediately thought of playing with you and Broom for the Colorado Springs team. We could always count on you to set the tone within the first 3 minutes of every game, truly inspirational. I hope you and your old man are enjoying a good hang, miss you brother.

As someone who has suffered the loss of a son, the grief will never end and the heart will be forever broken. My sympathies to the family of Josh.
October 13, 2024
Every October 15th I think of Josh and his mother and father.
His death was so sad.
I echo his mother's feelings about a hope that somehow Josh and his father are having a happy life wherever they are.
May God have mercy on all of us.

We always think of Josh during football season.
He loved playing and put his heart into it---as he did with anything he tried.
We remember his brother, Jack, being on the field at the San Diego stadium when the Falcons played in a playoff game.
Now Josh is in heaven playing.
Love and miss you.

I pray for Joshua and his parents. Josh was a fine man and had fine parents. He served his country in its time of need.
May they find peace.

Jackie and Carl,
My heart aches for you as it does for me. We lost beautiful, kind sons at the age of 35. Never a day goes by that I don't think about him my son, as I'm sure you both think about Josh. I'm determined to help others and be kind to people I meet because that is the best way I can honor Alan's name and memory.

I am so sorry tht you and I had to experience the loss of our wonderful sons. I know that not one day goes by that we don't think of them and feel their presence. My heart goes out to your family.

Our dear son has been gone for six months tomorrow. We celebrate daily his life and the joy it gave us. We are so sad he is gone and sad that we didn't know that he was suffering. He will always be remembered as kind, intelligent and adventuresome. We love you, Joshua, wherever you are and know we will see you again-sometime.

Stern was one of the guys who first went over with me. I was the 18 year old and he was the old man. Yet he was entirely to young to be taken from us so suddenly. He was definitely one of the more humble and loyal men I've had the honor to work with. My sympathy goes out to the Stern family. WAR MACHINE

To the Stern family,
I would like to apologize for just hearing about Josh's passing today and even more for not staying in touch with him when we left the service. I was deeply saddened by this news and I want you to know that Josh was a wonderful person and shining example for the soldiers of the 1st Battalion, 8th Infantry Regiment and for the teammates of the Colorado Springs Rugby Football Club.
I met Josh during the middle of our first tour in Iraq. He immediately struck me as a calm, cool and confident veteran. He was constantly sought after for advice and life experience not only by younger soldiers but officers and NCO's as well. What impressed me the most was how educated and knowledgable he was on so many different subjects. Every time I spoke with him I learned something new and he was a really cool person to pass the time with. There are some people that you serve with that you're just drawn to and Josh was one of them.
When we returned home from Iraq, I got to see a different side of Josh which was equally as impressive. When I joined the rugby team, he went well out of his way to make me feel welcome and part of a another team. Josh was a sleeping giant in the sport. He would show up to games like it was another day at the office but when the whistle blew, Josh would immediately set the tone for our team. I pride myself in my ability to deliver pain and punishment upon the opposition but it was nothing like the fear Josh could strike in them. We would always joke that it would take Josh no less than 5 minutes to absolutely drill the biggest player on the other team and get a huge gasp of concern from the fans. He wreaked havoc on the pitch and it was awe inspiring. Not many of the guys in our unit knew how good of a rugger he was but some of my fondest memories were calling him into CPT Carter's office on Monday and making him recount the highlights of the game.
I feel honored to have served with Josh on the battlefield and the rugby field and I am not alone. Josh was an amazing soldier and an integral part of the War Machine. He was beloved by those who served in his platoon, and those who had the opportunity to lead him in combat.
I cannot imagine what you are going through as a family and I will not attempt. I hope that the Lord provides you with peace in your lives and just know that Josh touched many people in his journeys. He truly embodied the spirit of Bravo Company, "Relentless, Invincible".
Tonight I raise my glass to a very special Fallen Eagle...Joshua Stern

I knew Stern for several years in the Army, in fact, for awhile, we were both team leaders in the same squad working side by side. I've only just heard and still feel like someone made a mistake. He was a great guy and deserved many more years. He gave me a lot of support when I was still learning to be a team leader and is someone that I will never forget. I only wish that I had stayed in better touch with him these last few years. I never met any of his family but you have my condolences, he was a great person and friend.

From a night out in Colorado Springs, to a night patrol in Mosul, Iraq, Josh was always a great friend and trusted battle buddy. He will be missed.

I only met Josh briefly during his travels through Asia, but I could tell immediately that this was a man with a kind heart. It's unsettling that a person of such wonder and grace had to have his life cut short. I honestly didn't know Josh that well, but the unfortunate news continues to sadden me to this day, a testament to how wonderful this man must have truly been.

I am completely saddened by this news. Josh and I met in Vancouver, BC last year. He was only staying for 24hr so I made sure to show him the best of Vancouver. We went biking, partying and sight seeing, we had a blast! In that short time, I got to know an amazing person with a warm-hearted. We talked about pretty anything, life, dreams, travels. Josh has a great positive outlook in life and I'm really fortunate to have met him.
Josh and I kept in touch and I was even planning to meet up with him this past May but wasn't able to due to scheduling issues. If I would have known that that would be my last time spending time with Josh then I would have no second thoughts and drop everything to catch the next plane to see him. You will be missed Josh.

I only knew Josh a a cute little (young) kid on La Barranca. I'm so sad for your loss. Love from our family.

To the Stern Family,
I was not great freinds with Josh; but what I did know of him I will always respect and admire. I have nothing but great impressions of him! I remember how tough and disciplined he was going back to our football days in high school. He was a leader through his actions...which the world needs more of.
I wish your family my heart felt prayers...Josh will be missed by even people like me who were not especially close to him. I am humbled and saddened and thank him for his service to this country.

I am so sorry to hear of your very sad loss. I met Josh several times in Cebu, Philippines, and although I didn't know him well I always enjoyed his company. I enjoyed his sense of humor and his sense of adventure. I am sure all the local Couchsurfing group here remember him with great affection and we were looking forward to his return to enjoy sharing time and a few beers with him. Please accept my sincere condolences. Jon Tullett, UK and Philippines

I met Josh while travelling trough Vietnam. He was one of the funniest persons I've ever met in my life. We shared extremely funny moments together and travelling together with him was a joy.
I hoped that I will some day finally meet him again. Instead, I got informed about his death a couple of days ago and struggling with the tears in my eyes was a hard thing to do. However, it is comforting to read these other guestbook entries so that I know, that I'm not the only person who feels about Josh the way I do. We surely all miss him but still can be glad that we at least have met him. I'm very lucky about this encounter.

I don’t know how to start, I’m still shock that josh passed away couldn’t believe it; I meet josh when he visit Cagayan de Oro, January 2010, for couple of days. We have talked serious things about life; love life, his dreams ect ect! His really like a brother as friend you can trust. A very kind, honest person and a good listener, and he told me about enrolling photography when he come back to Colorado, in his second day I bought a “ Labrador puppet” He was the one helping to bring in my place. Because of him I meet new friends from the CS community in Cebu during Sinulog festival 2010. Oh my God, one month ago we email me each other and he said that his coming again on December in the Philippines, it's so sad feelings that his gone now, but always be remind in our heart, I promise I will keep your advice… I thank the Lord for giving me the chance of knowing him.
You will always be remembered josh! May your rest in Peace! Hope you are in a better place and a new beginning of a real life in heaven. My condolences to all your loved ones!

Hey Josh,
I borrowed your favorite Dexter tee shirt: "There are no secrets in life, just hidden truths that lie beneath the surface." I mourn past and future missed opportunities to learn a few of your hidden truths. Fortunately, the many, many truths above the surface shined so brightly that you live on, peacefully, in the thoughts of those who knew and loved you. Safe travels.
Love,
Uncle John

To my second family,
Jackie, Carl, Josh and Jack.
I speak for my entire family, when I say that you have all been a part of our hearts since we first met. From several Bar Mitzvah's, weddings, and children, we will never forget. There are so many memories I have, mentoring Josh and the Goldberger's; Jacob was always occupied with Young Republican's Club, that he would talk politics with all of us at 8 years old, and Josh would joke with me about it, and we found it funny...now I know why! Josh was an amazing man, who was the product of a great family and upbringing. He will never be forgotten...to all of his friends, hope you are doing well. To Jackie, as I mentioned Sunday, you will always be my "Second Mom."
Our Sincerest Sympathies,
The Halsey Family

Josh - Losing you is horribly painful. But, given the choice I would never give up knowing you just to skip this pain. You were one of the most incredible people I've even had the privilege of calling my friend.
An immensely gifted artist, a selfless soldier, and a true friend. You attacked this life like it was a game. I am a better person because I knew you.
I'll miss you. And someday soon, when I think about you - I'll laugh at some incredible memories.

Dear Carl and Jackie, you guys raised a tough kid! On the rugby field he could bring down guys twice his size, it always made me happy that he was on our team! I remember Josh would send us photos of his many journies, I would always reply with letters of humorous hate mail of how jealous we were and how we wished we could be there. Mate, you lived a life I could only dream of! Im gonna miss you bro......
October 20, 2010
Jackie- My prayers are with you and your family. May you find peace through your many friends, family and colleagues that care deeply for you. Lorna
