Joshua Laff

How precious our loved ones are to us. Gone too soon; remembered forever. John 3:16.

My sincere condolences to the family.
May the God of all comfort strengthen the family during this time of deep sorrow. Those who pass on, God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes.
(Psalms 116:15)

Josh, or "Tarzan" as he was nicknamed in college was one of my Pi Lam big brothers. Due to my long hair, same first name and "quirkiness" that was similar to Josh's, I got the nickname "Cheetah." He was a great guy and taught me a few good college lessons while he was still there. We all loved that he wasn't afraid of being different, especially in a fraternity. Be at peace, big bro.

It was incredibly sad to hear about Josh. He was a member of our gaming community on XBox and he had a lot of friends here. We've posted a message on our group forum (of which he was an active participant) letting our other members know. He will be sorely missed by all of us. Our thoughts and sincerest sympathies go out to his family.

There is something to be said about your first crush and love..."You will never forget it". Joshua was the first boy I ever fell in love with. I was 7, and we were in 2nd grade. I remember I was so smitten, I had to tell the world. I wrote down everything I felt, brought him up front of the class, one day for show & tell, and read it out loud to the entire class. Upon conclusion, I kissed him. Although, we were both embarrassed by the end of the day, since everyone throughout the school was...

Pat and Linda;
There are places in your heart that will forever treasure Josh's love and strength.
There are places in your mind that will forever remember his stories and his humor.
Memories of Josh will always hold an important place in your life.
The love you shared will keep him close forever.
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this time of your loss.
With deepest sympathy,
Cousin David.

As a fellow bus driver at Seattle Metro Transit, I remember Josh as a person who got involved and thoughtfully advocated for what he believed in. I miss your quiet, gentle intelligence, Josh. Rest in peace.
