Josh was one of the nicest people I have had the pleasure of meeting, I competed with him multiple times on the High School golf team, and he was one of the people I always looked forward to playing against. There aren't too many people who have a pure passion in life, and you could see how much golf meant to him. I have so many fond memories of Josh on the golf course, and I hope that he may rest in peace. I am so sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
