I worked with Josh in the 4th Fighter Squadron at Hill AFB in the late 90s. I was just randomly looking up guys from that time and he was always one of the ones I remembered as we had become good friends during our time serving together. I am so sad to hear of this and I wish all of Josh's family and friends the best and hope you're doing as well as possible in the years since.
