May your smile and larger than life personality continue to shine love and light on all of those that you have touched. Sending strength and love to your daughter, fiancé, family and friends. You left way to soon. RIP, Josh.

This feels like a part of my childhood has been ripped away. I have gone to school with Josh since kindergarten at Lincoln. He and I were never really friends, but I remember him well. He was a force of nature. No other way to describe him. His personality was electric. I can't believe I am using past tense when talking about him. My heart is heavy over this loss, and my most heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

I never met your Josh but I know he was and always will be a valued member of your family.

As I was reading Ron's email I was thinking of what I could do to help you get through this loss. I only thing I could think of was to tell you there are a lot of your AWD friends that along with me are praying for you and your son.

I hope that this note may help ease the pain that you are going through.

Can't believe your gone. All the good conversations we had, all the advice you gave me, it's hurts to know that your gone, you were truly one hell of a guy and I'll miss you so much. Rest easy up there. And I'll see you again someday.
