As another year passes, I can´t help but remember our first Christmas together. I remember having the tree decorated and you really wanted a fire going (it was so hot outside, but we still did it). It was absolutely amazing hosting your family and you were so excited going Christmas shopping. I miss those days and the memories we made. You will always be in my thoughts, I miss you dearly and love what we had, no regrets ever. I love you Josh.

Josh, this has been quite the year. We have this crazy pandemic going on called COVID-19 and it’s interfering with a lot of things that we do on a regular basis. Holidays have been pretty nonexistent and today is Christmas, and it’s just not the same. I think back to our Christmas’ and how you always went way overboard on the kids and you loved to shop for them - you didn’t care if you spent your entire paycheck on them - they were definitely some great memories! It still doesn’t get easy missing you, but I want you to know that you are always in my heart. I love you Josh xoxoxo

10 years ago, I lost one of my best friends. We had some amazing adventures together and hit many obstacles, however one thing we never lost was our friendship. Josh, I think about you all the time and am always comparing everything to what we had. You were an amazing person and an even better father. You loved your kids more than anything and it was tough at times but you always put them ahead of anything or anyone else. I think about the family often and know that you are looking down, shining a path for them. I miss you every day. Josh, you will never be forgotten and may your soul continue to rest in peace. I love you.

I think about and your family all the time, I hope they are doing well. I miss you very much and you are always on my mind. A piece of my heart broke the day I heard about your passing. You will always be part of my memories and in my heart. I miss you Josh. Always. Xoxo

Always thinking of our good times Josh, when songs are played we used to change the lyrics on and when I play FPS (BF4 is out now LOL) and you will never be forgotten.
Todd and I have been keeping it real, I got him a job at my new work place and it's working out great, we talk about you all the time. It's a traveling job so we get to go around the country and skate and hang out and see new places and new things. Oh, I should mention that Todd carried the tradition of taking me to the wrong - golian grill!
I think I bumped into Karry today while taking my daughter to meet her teacher for her first day at school. It's a small world.
Love you Josh!

I wish Heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again. I thought of
you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and
days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your
name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a
... keepsake from which I'll never part....he has you,in his arms,,I have you forever in my heart....xoxoxo
Every moment is changed forever even happy ones require strength to make it thru, its a constant thought of how can this be enjoyed or happy when no matter what it is, its so incomplete without you. Nothing feels right, sounds right or looks right. Ive made an attempt to change everything around us, but have finally come to realize its never going to change the fact that it all feels lost and empty without you. He is So very loved and so very missed :(

I really miss Joshua Cody Barnett as a elder friend.My best friend is Allicyn Barnett,one of the daughters of Josh.She was really sad when she found out. I know He will be missed. He was also really good with computers too. He worked at U.S Airways. Allicyn is sitting right next to me and this is what she has to say,"I really miss my daddy and the stuff we used to do together. I wish he was here again." I'm Briati and some of you may know me. Me and Al have been friends for 3 years and counting, partly thanks to Josh.

It's still not real! Its hard for me to force myself to realize that its true. I hear songs on the radio and blare them as to feel the music is to feel your existance again. Its these little things that keep me hanging on.

I have thought about what to write for the past month, and I am stumped. I am so lucky that I was able to share a lot of memories with Josh. I know that he had a lot of passion in life for his children, his job, and of course his vehicles! I know that he will be missed everyday but we must remember all the great times shared with him. I will always remember the random drives on the R1, the long nights of BF2, and the time spent with him and his children. I am still in shock and can’t believe that Josh has passed away but when someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. I will never forget Josh and will always hold his treasures close to my heart.

I met Josh several years ago on his first day at US Airways. We worked together at the Rio building. I shared the same office w/Josh, Sean, Todd, Ben and Mark. I was the oldest of the bunch and being the only girl I was the "mom". We talked alot and confided in each other about a lot of things. I always thought for someone so young, he had such great advice. We talked about our kids, which I know he loved very much.
I made it a point to always hug Josh and the "boys" as I was in/out of the Rio building. He and Mark would be having these crazy conversations and they would be giggling on their side of the room. They would look over at me and say, "Are we bothering you?" (As they laughed) I would turn and say to him, "I'm a mom remember? I'm tuning you out!" And then one of them would shoot me w/a rubber band or something. Then I would tell them to "take out the trash!" (They were stinking up the room w/their left over lunches.)
I spoke w/Josh briefly on Friday the 19th. Unfortunately, I was "so busy" I barely had time to talk that day. I wish now I had taken the time to really ask him how he was doing. I will miss his smile, and his laughter and his "manly" advice. He was a good friend to me. I will miss him dearly. Rest in peace my friend....

I met Josh over 10 years ago through his brother in law Josh and wife Karry. We hit it off as soon as we met. He always said he was Jewish (even though that was questionable, lol) me being half Jewish, I think we had a bond right there. He would always say Hebrew power, lol. He got me into computers and built my first one with him. We played music together and for a little while had a band. Josh really influenced my life. I always looked up to him (he was four years older), he had a beautiful wife and family, a house, he was always trying to improve his life and the life of his family. I now work in IT making a good living and have a beautiful wife and 3 kids like Josh. I will remember him forever and always miss him. We had some great times together and he taught me a lot. He was always honest and to the point. Everyday I come to work I think about him and how he led me to where I am today. I feel like I've lost a part of myself. If Karry or any of the Kids every need anything please get a hold of me, 623-570-5868. Love always.
I will never stop loving you...

I wouldn't be who I am today without Josh. There were things he helped me through that he will never know about. He did it just by being himself. He and Ben taught me how to live and I had the time of my life working with him. We became good friends through work and I wish he had more time. I never thought once that he wouldn't be here one day. Some people you think will always be around because it's hard to image life without them. I'm going to miss my friend.

Josh was such a nice guy. I worked with him at US Airways for almost 2 years and he was so friendly and helpful. I can't believe I was talking to him 2 weeks ago and now this. I'm so sad about this loss. My condolences to his family. I know they just lost another son 2 years ago. I remember Josh being devastated about that. They will all be in my prayers.
