I am so sorry to hear about Joshua. I remember his wonderful smile and hanging out with him during football games and practice with the Lamond Lighting team. To his family: God is on your side even when you facing sad times. I am so glad that I was part of his life. Joshua was my buddy!!! I remember after the Lamond Lighting games he would always asked me for for two sandwiches. A Former Lamond Lighting Football Mom

I can remember seeing Joshua when he was an early teen, running around in the neighborhood playing with Manny, Brandon, and the rest of the neighborhood kids. I can also remember how when my mom and I used to see him walking, how respectful he was towards us and would always give us a hug. May God Bless is parents, sibling, child and mother of his child.
