I didn't find out that you were gone until a few months after your passing. It's taken me a long time to acknowledge that you are no longer on this Earth. My heart is broken. I think of you often. You are missed terribly. Thanks to you and Jack, I am blessed with Ryker...that will always be a most wonderful memory of you. RIP my friend. xo To Josh's family, I am so sorry for what you've lost. He will always be a bright shining star in the universe watching over us. Much love.

Very saddened to hear about this tragic accident. Josh is someone I thought I would see again through mutual friends or in SM or Venice and talk about where life took us. I have great memories of hanging out with Josh (he didn't look like a Thomas) at sunset, the oar house, Toms house, The Funky hippies when we all ended up onstage singing (microphone in hand) and dancing. And there was dipping your Del Taco French frys in your vanilla shake and you thought it taste like a donut. Prayers to his mom,Sister, brother, family and wife.

JOSH my brother, I am going to truely miss you man. I have alot of memories with you but definitely remember that night you came through to show me how to ride. I also remember the day we balled all morning than rode the rest of the day through the malibu canyons. Ill never forget that adrenaline rush that day. The motorcycle lifestyle is a dangerous one..we all know that when we take off in one..but I know that you know the adrenaline rush is sometimes so worth it...I will dearly miss us balling on mondays and wendsdays and fridays. If I knew I was going to lose you brotha I would of played more ball with you longer. Injuries suck I tell you. Where ever your at now I hope you keep a basketball court warm for your OC3ANPARK brothers. I will dearly forever miss you dude. All of us will. This is my last entry my brotha to you and I will carry you in spirit and in my heart like I do my oceanpark brothers. I love you man and where ever you are now I hope theres peace and love...till next time we meet...J

My heart is beyond saddened by the loss of Josh. My name is Kelly, mother of Sebastian - a lucky boy who had the privilege of having Josh as his mentor for over a year. My heart holds a very special place for Josh as he truly impacted my son's life in such a wonderful way. He was selfless - committed his Saturday's to spend time with my son and be a mentor, a big brother, and most importantly a friend. The connection they created was like no other. Their bond was strong. Josh quickly won my son's heart and my total respect. He was the BEST and only mentor Sebastian has had. Josh was able to give my son what he needed so much, a male presence. Even tho it was only supposed to be Saturday's, Josh went beyond that time to hang with Sebastian. I cannot thank God enough for bringing Josh into our lives. The news of his passing has sincerely hurt us both. We last spoke with him earlier this year and he shared his life updates with us. He sent pictures to us of his wedding. He was so happy and wanted to set up time for us to get together again and meet his wife. Sadly, we let time pass by and then we got the worst news. I am sad. But I am also glad because my son was blessed by Josh. How lucky for Sebastian that he had one of the finest mentors God could've ever given him. I am glad to have memories of them both. Josh was truly a huge blessing. Thank you God for sharing him with us at a time where my son needed it. Prayers for his wife, mom, and his entire family.
