Josh was a really nice guy and great friend to my husband Zack and more that knew him. I remember when Josh, Zack, Mark, and I sat ontop of these old oil drums and he was playing guitar in the middle of the night. Also at his dads house fishing and a fish snagged my pole into the pond...but he caught it back on his hook amazingly! I just wanted to say that he is missed and thought of ever so oftenly.

Josh will never be forgotten. My prayers are with him and his family. I didnt know josh as a teenager really but from 5-13 I grew up outside of smithville in lake thunderbird, i can recall tons of memories that i will never forget. Love you josh,

Hello,
I represent PRAYER SHAWLS 4 FALLEN SOLDIERS (PS4FS), an organization that since October 2007 has sent over 3,290 prayer shawls to military families who have lost a loved one. We are an organization of over 245 groups from all over the country. We make every effort to reach families even when post cards are returned after they have moved. Would you kindly send me a contact email/address so that we may send a loving hand-made prayer shawl to...

Josh's mom. My name is Sharon and my son, Private Rasmussen served with your son in Afghanistan. They were assigned many times to do Guard Duty together and spent many hours talking and joking. My son looked to your son for guidance and comfort when times got tough. Keegan is only 20 years old and just deployed to Afghanistan on April 19th. Your son welcomed him and showed him the way of the world being deployed. I actually had a brief moment to speak to your son on the cell phone...

Josh, I never met you bro but you are a true hero and make America strong and proud. I know your Mom from a mutual friend in Austin. May you rest in peace!
