The son of Chad and Sue (Barkema) Cox, Josh was born on August 9, 1994 in Waterloo, Iowa. He graduated from PCM High School in 2013 and earned an Associate's degree from DMACC. Josh was very proud of the fact he maintained a GPA of 3.0 or higher through High School and college. He was also a member of the Prairie City Church of the Brethren.

Those left to honor his memory include his parents, Chad and Sue; a sister, Megan Cox, a brother, Jacob Cox; grandparents, Pamela Cox, Jessie Sage and Don Sage; great grandmother Viola Barkema; aunts and uncles, Kim (Allan) Hoy, Sherry (Randy) Elmore, Terisa (Bob) Schlueter, Brandon Cox, Richard Barkema and Randy (Allyson) Sage, as well as many other family members and friends. Preceding Josh in death were grandfather LaMont Cox, grandfather Dwight Barkema; great grandparents, Bill and Pat Haacke, Spencer and Marge Cox; great grandfather Junior Barkema; great grandmother Marie Gruis along with other loving relatives who have passed.

Joshua was registered as an Organ Donor, however, due to the measures taken to try and save his life, sadly, he didn't have the chance to do so.
