Josh was one of my students at Community High School and I remember him well. He had a great sense of humor and we shared a love of movies. I am very sorry for your loss and I know he will be missed.

None of you know me but my name is Reggie Bollinger. I was able to have the privilege to meet and become very close with Josh during a shared experience we had in July and August of this year. I considered Josh on of my closest friends during that time and am heart broken over his passing. We spent so much time talking about life and his support to me was something I will never forget. He was a wonderful young man, he touched my life in so many ways and will always have a place in my heart. I love you Josh and I just want your family to know that you, along with Josh, are in my thoughts and prayers.
