Josh was an awesome role model, a great dad, a loving son, an excellent officer, a great friend, and the best brother. He was fearless and relentless while serving and protecting the City of Pharr. Anybody who knew Josh has memorable stories about him. He had a magical smile and a heart of gold. Josh, you will be dearly missed.
