I was a dear friend in Troop 136 with Joshua Wingert, having spent time within my younger years (2016-2017 timeframe) and having made several fond memories while on campouts and outings. Josh was one of my most closest friends in scouting during that time of uncertainty, where I was just a fresh face looking to belong-and we found each other and made it together. His character was the living embodiment of every tenet that Scouting presented. He was the first among a multitude of people that...

Josh, I cant believe its been a year since you left us. I still think of you constantly and appreciate the love and support that you still provide each and everyone of us! You were an angel here on earth and I know you are still carrying on that legacy in Heaven! I love you and miss you sooooo much! - Auntie Julie

Happy Birthday, Joshua! Love Auntie!

Love you, Josh!

Happy Birthday, buddy! I miss you so much, especially at my birthday party this year! You were there in spirit. Thank you!

Josh,

Your battle took the complexities of cancer that I thought I understood and offered an entirely different perspective on them. As I enter a career attempting to help others, you stand as a beacon of inspiration that will continue to inspire me in ways no one else has.

I met you as baby when your father and I worked together many years ago. He and your mother loved you so much. Your parents, extended family and friends were so lucky to have you in their lives. May God bless you, your brother, and parents. You will always be in many people's hearts. Rest in peace.

My dear sweet Joshua, I am so grateful for all of those impactful life lessons you taught me in your short time here with us. Most importantly how love can overpower the negative. All I have to do is think of you to put life in perspective. Your family, friends and mere acquaintances are all blessed for having known you. I am going to miss that smile and positivity, but know all I have to do is think of you and I will have all those wonderful memories. Especially all of the visits that you,...

Josh was always so excited to see people. Whether he was meeting you for the first time or seeing you again, he was genuinely always happy to see you!! He truly loved life and saw everything in a positive way. I'm glad I had the opportunity to see him on different occasions. I will always remember his love of life and people and his precious smile. Sending our love & prayers to all the family.

My prayers go out to the families and friends of this young hero. All though I didnt personally meet Joshua Ive heard some wonderful stories and memories of the impact he left on his friends. He was a hero to so many! He sounded like a remarkable young human with an old soul. I believe God does have a reason for his calling at such an early age and he will be waiting for all of us to join the enteral life that God has given and chosen for him.

I was a childhood friend to Julie...
