Not sure what to say?

Josh man it´s been a while but I and I´m sure many others think about you all the time, I remember you taking me to elementary blasting Rock master Scott & the dynamic 3 haha. It´s still pretty weird not seeing you at the holidays or when you were just stopping through town, Me your Siblings Kim Chad Carter and many more miss you deeply, until we meet again cousin

Me left and Josh right posing with our demonhunters

Me and Josh met 13 years ago playing world of warcraft together you form a special bond with someone a lot like the bond soldiers share in a combat zone a person you can depend on when u need them the most without asking they are just there to catch you that was Josh no matter the situation he was always there to have my back when I was raiding or doing mythic dungeons before hearthstone of course then it turned into the 50 year marriage I was begging him to spend time with me but he was...

You will be missed, Josh. I sure did love playing World of Warcraft with you. You had an contagious sense of humor. I will always remember how you would carry me through dungeons in WoW and just run and around and act silly. I'll cherish Amy's HK Jeep. Thank you. My condolences to the family. - Brandi Mackey

Josh I sure do miss you. I smile at the memories, and so wish that I would have got a chance to see you again. My favorite memory's of Josh have to do with his acts of kindness and generosity. Josh was just young and starting out with me at MMCC would walk with me on lunch. I being much shorter and not as in shape would almost have to run to keep up, but he would wait for me and walk slower. He talked to me about struggling in life and how great full he was for everything he had. This the...

Still haven't been able to wrap my head around this. Although Josh and I met through work, we became good friends through our love of music. He was my concert buddy, but also would come to several of my band's shows to support us. He and I also connected over our enthusiasm for The Dark Tower series ("Go now - there are other worlds than these"), and he got me to read Watership Down (Josh said, "It's just a book about rabbits. You gotta read it." So I did.) He watched my son when I needed a...

He was a very nice guy, I had the pleasure of hanging out with him a few times. I am extremely heavy hearted for your loss. God Bless your family.

I am happy that you were exactly who you were and I will sorely miss our occasional chats. Farewell Zeep.

To start, my experience with Josh was kind of like an Oreo cookie: we had a lot of solid kid moments in elementary school together; our middle school and high school years were good filler, where we orbited around in the same circle of peers; and then we reconnected around the end of my college days when I began to date one of his friends and, in turn, reconnect with old acquaintances overall.

Without looking through yearbooks, I don't recall what grades we were in the same classes...

When Josh was 6-7 our family went on a trip to Florida. It was me (Uncle Bill), Tammy, our brothers Ed, Gene, and our father, Mike. This was our first trip there. We were all excited to go to SeaWorld and see the sights. Josh, being Josh, had other plans for entertainment!

On the flight, the pilot did the usual when you get high enough and told us all we could take off our seatbelts. Josh having been tied down for a whole 20mins had a few years worth of energy to burn off. In his...
