20 years? I can´t believe it. You were so young. I´m approaching the big 4 0 and it´s crazy to think you´ll never age. You will always be young, handsome, and full of life.
It´s been a hard year for me. Being a parent is the hardest, most rewarding thing I´ve ever done. I never knew I could love so much and hurt so much at the same time. A mom´s love is truly unlike any other and I pray for your mom and her loss in these days.
My little boy is the sweetest, most joyful, empathetic kid you could ever meet. He never stops smiling. My heart breaks when I look at him and imagine all the possibilities. I wish you could have had all the possibilities and be able to experience parenthood.
Time is slipping by faster every year. The memory of you and loved ones lost are heavy on my mind and heart. How can life be so sweet and cruel at the same time?
You are missed deeply Josh. I fear I don´t know what else to say but that.
Love Always, Jil

Hi Josh. Another year has gone by, another year that we´ve been cheated from your sweet soul and presence. It has been a long year and a big year for me. I gave birth to a little boy one month ago today on September 10th.
He is beautiful. He makes me realize how precious life is. How precious your life was. Wish you could´ve met him and I hope to tell him all about you and the short time we knew each other, but the big impact you made.
I think the fact that I still think about you all these years later, says all that needs to be said about what kind of person you were. I hope to raise my little boy with the same values. I hope he makes positive impacts on everyone he meets, and always gives more than he takes.
One day we will meet again my friend, and we will have so much to talk about, just like our numerous phone calls as young adults. We will talk about everything and we will talk about nothing.
Rest easy, and know that your legacy lives on in those who were surrounded by your bright light.
Love Always, Jil

Sweet, sweet Josh...18 years...I can't believe it. I age and get older, while you'll always stay the same. I think about you often through each year you're gone. Little, random things remind me of you. Water parks-from our 8th grade field trip. That song from Marcy Playground you used to sing me over the phone. Anything Godzilla related from our first date as young youths. You were such a small part of my life but made such a big impact. I would have loved to watch you grow older with a career, family, catch up over a drink. Thankyou for touching my heart and soul so early in my life, it truly has shaped me into the woman I am today. Love and miss you Josh.

Ten years and we still think of you everyday something happens in our lives that gives us a lil smile and a knowing that you are there. We miss you and love you so much Josh Thank you for touching our lives xoxoxo
October 10, 2014
I miss you every day. I think about your hopes and dreams. You helped so many people with their lives and then yours was taken so young. It is ten years today and the pain is still just as bad as that terrible day. I try so hard to find the meaning behind you dying but I just can't find it. I try to think of all the happy times. How very special you were. I love you son. Mom

Hi Josh, I haven't written on here before. Probably because I didn't know what to say. I was going through an old box and found AOL letters from you in 8th grade. I know we were young, and I know you said you cared a lot for me. I guess I just want to say I'm sorry if I ever hurt you. You were such a sweet, great guy and I'm sad I never got to meet you as a man. Here we are 10 years later, this year, and I am brought to tears thinking about what could have been for you, us...I lost another amazing guy in my life back in 2007. Maybe you two are looking down on me and can send me some guidance. I do and will always cherish the kind words you wrote and the music box you brought back from San Francisco for me. You're never far from my thoughts, and always in my heart and memories.

Wow josh seems like forever I'm 18 now and wish you could be here. I'll be graduating high school this year. I miss you being here. Life has been really hard without you. It's almost that time of year again and this year I will be spending it at band camp up north. I don't know what all to put here cuz I have so much I would like to tell you it's been so long. You were always more of an older brother than an uncle to me. I always wonder who you would have been or became. I love you so much and miss you really bad. I wish I could call or you could write back or something.

Josh,
This year has been rough. I have been on an emotional rollar coaster for three hundred and sixty five days. There are days that i smile because i feel your arms around me, and there are days that i cry because i'm scared that i am alone. I have done my best this year to make choices that I knew you would be proud of. I miss you more everyday. The pain i believe has been numbed by the constant reminder that you are gone. There are still things that get me. a song i can't cope with. No longer being able to hear your voice. But I know you are at peace now. I am doing my best too. I still love you. Always have, always will. Alot Alot.

I was just thinking about my birthday two years ago, when you "fell into the vase!" And also when you were the first one at the hospital with me when I got into my accident. You were watching over me then, and I know you are now as well!
I can't wait till the day I get to see and talk to you again.

IN MEMORY OF YOU
I find an old photograph
and see your smile.
As I feel your presence anew,
I am filled with warmth
and my heart remembers love.
I read an old card
sent many years ago
during a time of turmoil and confusion.
The soothing words written then
still caress my spirit
and bring me peace.
I remember who you used to be
the laughter we shared
and wonder what you have become.
Where are you now,
Where did you go,
When the body is left behind
and the spirit is released to fly?
Perhaps you are the morning bird
singing joyfully at sunrise,
or the butterfly that dances
so carelessly on the breeze
or the rainbow of colors
that brightens a stormy sky
or the fingers of afternoon mist
delicately reaching over the mountains
or the final few rays of the setting sun
lighting up the skies
edging the clouds with a magical glow.
I miss your being
but I feel your presence,
In whatever form you choose to take,
however you now choose to be.
Your spirit has become for me
a guardian angel on high
guiding, advising, and watching over me.
I remember you.
You are with me
and I am not afraid.

Love you and miss you lots.

Wow things seem to go by so quickly these days. I miss seeing your face in the Ag Dept. You were always there working hard, and encouraging me to do my best. Officer elections are this week and I'm running for President. I know you'd be proud, you always said that you were proud of me. Thanks for that. I really miss you alot.
Love you,

Josh:
I just wanted to add our love to you among the many others that are obviously grieving and missing you. You truly are a unique and great young man, as evidenced by the love that keeps pouring out through this web-sight.
We miss having you and Tawni pop in and out - you were such a match. Tawni is lost (as she said), but also, as she said, she's gaining strength. However, I believe that strength comes from your heart, love and memories. So, you see, you are still here in all of our hearts.
I so enjoyed seeing your mom and Corky and your friend at Travis and Stacy's anniversary party. Your mom and Corky kept telling me how much I reminded them of their mom.
As everyone before my entry has said - we miss you, Josh, and we love you.

Josh I miss you so much these past months since you have left have been the most hardest in my life, not knowing where to go when i need advice or or where to go to tell what just happend to me, there are times when i think i cant go on without you but i have to keep pushing myself to succed in everything i do in my life, I will always miss the way you believed in me when no one else would and how you gave me the courage when i was lost to find myself again and how to get the love of my life back, I have been so lonly without you but each day comes and goes and the sadness of you not here gets eaiser with time. You were my best freind josh and i miss you dearly You have done soo much for me from the time i have met you till the day you passed away. I will miss the good times down in tucson (what happens in tucson stays in tucson), all the memories at the rovey dairy, the times with rachael and austin at county fair, the times with me you and rachael down in tucson at my grandpa T's house pickin roses for tawni because you messed up, all the times when austin rachael and you went shootin and rachael was afraid to shoot a gun so she was the loader for us, and all the times at the lake when we went fishing and rachael would get bittin by a million misquitos and we would laugh at her bumpy legs and her red face was soo cute, or when the three of us went to old tucson and rachael was soo scared to go into the haunted house so she grabbed hold of both of us and we gave her soo much grief about bein scared, I remember the first time i met Cali Ali and how happy you were with her, and the first time you kissed her and how you freaked out was soo funny i miss the phone calls at 2 in the morning to tell me what had just happend durning the night, or when i was at the job and you were bored in class so you would call me to get me in trouble. My life has been so diffrent without you and i need you now more than ever to help me get my life back and to give me the strength and courage to get Rachael back and to become a better person without you, I will always Miss you and i will never forget you.

Josh,
I went to Peoria FFA Mini Camp tonight. I tried not to cry but it was very hard. I could almost see you in those familar rooms. Running around with that special grin on your face. Setting things up and checking everything over. Having the time of your life doing what you had done so many times before. I received so many hugs. I knew you have not been forgotten. That you were there in spirit with me and with those kids. They had a special moment of silence in your honor. I'm sorry honey but I cried all the way through it. I know you would want me to be strong but I just couldn't be strong just then.
I love you and they love you. I miss you so.

It is now Christmas Day and I am thinking of you. There is nothing I can say to make this day easy for you. You can only think of past Christmases and remember the good times. The joy of watching his eyes glow as he ran to the tree because Santa had delivered presents to a very good boy. The happiness he showed when he got what he asked for and new that Santa was actually his parents. The supreme joy you felt when he hugged you and kissed you and wished you a Merry Christmas. This was the only gift you ever needed or wanted. I know that is the gift you need today. He can't physically give you this, but know in your heart that is what he wishes he could do. Josh loved you unconditionally and that is a love no one can ever take from you. My wish for you this holiday season is that you find peace in knowing that Josh's love will never leave you and knowing that not only was he a brother to Joey, John and Justin, but he was also there friend. The greatest gift given to a woman is her children. You were blessed with four such gifts. Cherish the memories these gifts keep giving.
I love you my cousin and friend.

Josh to me was more than a friend to me, although I didn’t know josh as well as everyone else did I still was just as upset as they were when he suddenly left us. Still almost 3 months later I am constantly down and upset about he being gone. Songs are always reminding me of him and stories are always reminding me of him. People have seemed to move on and understand that josh is gone, but to me I have yet to acknowledge that. These past few months have been the hardest for me with josh not being here for us. I always enjoyed josh's ideas and motivation I hope that I can continue what he created. I think that when I got the word that he had died I didn’t react like I wanted to I was just in a state of shock and even at the funereal I still didn’t understand that he’s not gonna be here any more. Now that time has past it kicks into me more that he won’t be coming back. I just hope that one day I can over come this devastation and understand that this type of stuff happens. It has become hard for me to walk through the P.A.C because me knowing josh’s funeral was there. Josh’s attitude towards life was always positive even when times were pretty stress full most of the time I was there to see them. He always seems to have his head on his shoulders just perfect and he never let anyone touch that. Things will not be the same without josh here anymore I now know and understand that, some day I will see him again just like I did 3 days before he passed away. My regards to his mom she was always there for him and I commend her on that it takes a strong mother to put up with a teenager. To the other family members and friends, we lost some one important but we haven’t forgotten him.

Josh,
As the holiday start to approach I have been thinking about you a lot. I can't help but to think of all the fun times we had as state officers together... The gift exchange at the Christmas party, and the snowball fight that we had at the winter retreat. I miss those days and miss you. The one thing that you have taught me over these past few years is good friends are hard to find, hard to keep, and even harder to lose. Lots of Love,

Josh,
Happy Thanksgiving! It is so odd to wake up knowing that i only have one place to be this year. Last year all the running around we had to do and all the things we had to eat was crazy! I have never been so full in my life. But you had a full plate everywhere we went! My parents are coming to see me tonight but it seems like we will be missing a part of our family too.We all miss you so much. (Alot, Alot Josh)

Well I'll never forget the night I heard the news about Josh, my heart was aching and the tears were flowing. Somehow all I could think of was one of the last conversations I had with josh. It was during the dance at SLC and I was sitting alone outside.That day hadn't gone exactly as I hoped it would, but Josh being the great person that he is came and sat down beside me and started asking me how I was doing and then he proceded to tell me that everything would be ok and I shouldn't give up but rather I needed to keep trying and he was sure I could do it. As he left I told him thanks for the things he said and that was the end of our conversation. He may never know how much his encourageing words meant to me. Later during the summer I attended the state FFA camp; right away when he saw me and even as I left to go home Josh he gave me a big hug and told me how excited he was to see me and that he was very glad I decided to come. those two moments in my life I will remember forever because Josh put a smile on my face, a warmth in my heart, an I can do anything attitude in my mind, but most of all he was there for me and really truely showed me that he did care even though he didn't fully understand. I want to let you know the family of Josh Morgan that he will forever be one of the most amazing people I have ever had the priveledge of knowing. My thoughts and prayers are still with each and everyone of you and may God help you to remember the joy's about Josh's life and that he will always be with you now and forever.
P.S. Josh will allways be apart of the six shooters!

As Thanksgiving approaches and the sadness of Josh not being with us lingers in our hearts. I have many thoughts of how this day will be spent. Tears and memories of the past 19 Thanksgivings will be shared. Thankful you had him for the past 19 and wondering why you can't have him for the next forever. I do have a vision of Josh on this Thanksgivng day that I would like to share. Vision this...Their is a big table in heaven and God motions for Josh to come sit to his right. Josh sits down and asks God, why am I here and God says I needed another angel. They sit for a long time and Josh tells him of the plans he had for his future. God says he understands, but he has bigger plans for Josh. He knows that family and friends don't understand, but someday they will. Turkey is served with all the side dishes you could imagine. Josh eats with a hearty appetite. They continue to talk and Josh being respectful becomes quiet and just listens for a while. (afterall his mother had taught him to listen to his elders) The meal is finished and God says it is time to go and prepare for the evening. Josh being the polite young man that he is thanks God for dinner. Josh stands their a moment looking at his feet, then looks up at God with that silly grin and says "God I don't want to hurt your feelings but this Turkey didn't taste like my moms, hers is much better"! Pat, you will be in my thoughts and prayers on Thanksgiving day.
Love
Mary

Dear Patti, Larry & Kathy,Joe, John and Justin,
I was tremendously saddened to learn of your loss. I remember Josh from the time he was an infant to that of a cute little tyke, then through his elementary years. I am not suprised that he grew up to be such an accomplished young man--involved in so many things and touching the lives of so many people. May God Bless All of You in this time of loss.

I hadnt known Josh all that long, the first time i met him was at SLC in june, but he left a lastin impact on my life. I was talking to him about how this was my first time at SLC and he gave me the feeling that i was welcome and that i would always have a friend in him. But sadly Josh's life ended to soon, and i just wanted to say, he will always have a friend in me, just as his family, friends, and fellow FFA memebers will. Josh you are loved and will be miss.

~ I remember the first time i met Josh...I was a scared Freshmen walking into the auditorium at ASU EAST getting ready for the Creed Speaking Competition Josh was walking down the aisle going to the stage as everyone was taking their seats and socializing. Josh had stopped to talk to one of the members of my chapter and had introduced himself to me and asked if i was nervous my response was YES and he assured me i would do fine and its not that scary up there because i was in a room full of friends. Well i placed 2nd and as i took the stage to receive my certificate Josh shook my hand and quietly said i told you you would do great. From then on I really looked up to Josh his words really made me look at FFA in a different way it was no longer scary i realized how much fun FFA could be and that YES everyone in a blue corderoy jacket was considered a friend. Point of my story is Josh made an imprint in my life and im sure many many more....he was a roll model to all who knew him ...I'm proud to call him a friend.

I will miss your smile and hug when you came to the doctor. You never waited in the waiting room. You always came to my office and gave me a big bear hug. You were truly a gentleman and sweetheart. You will be remembered in all of our hearts.

My time with josh seemed so short. but we had so many good times together. He was my best friend and my boyfriend. This peom was shared with me by my aunt,
And if I go While you're still here...
Know that I live on, vibriting to a different measure~ behind a thin viel you cannot see through. You will not see me, so you must have faith. I wait for the time we can soar together again, both aware of eachother. Until then, live life to its fullest. And when you need me, just wisper my name in your heart, and i will be there.
Josh was a big part of my family and my life and i miss him more then anything. (Alot, Alot Josh.)

My family will always remember Josh because he was a fun, kind, loving and caring individual. I remember when Tawni brought Josh to our house for the first couple of times he just fit right in and wouldn't let any of the guys give him a hard time. Usually boyfriends are intimidated by the guys the first couple of times but Josh usually jumped right back at them and gave them a hard time back. I have a 3 year old daughter Rylinn and at the time she was 2 she would carry Josh and Tawni's prom picture around the house and say "My Josh" and kiss the picture. My daughter loved him tremendously. Rylinn would give Tawni a hard time whenever they were around us by saying "My Josh" and Tawni would say "No My Josh" they would go back and forth teasing each other. It was funny! Josh will be very missed by my family.

To the family of Josh
He was such a special person. When you needed a friend, he was a friend. He was honest, happy, nice, full of hope, ambition, encouragement. He made such an impact on our lives. God could not have chosen a better angel. Our love and support goes out to anyone who knew Josh, and you are more than welcome to call on us if you ever need anything. We love'd Josh, so did anyone who ever met him.

To my cousin Pat and family,
My heart goes out to you. I heard this song and I thought of Josh...
That when you die your life goes on
It doesn’t end here when you’re gone
Every soul is filled with light
It never ends and if I’m right
Forever, you’re a part of me
Forever, in the heart of me
‘Cause I believe
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, I believe.......
Josh will be missed, but not forgotten..I am blessed that Josh is my cousin and now an angel watching over us all..I love you all..God Bless..

I can only imagine the magnitude of people that Josh touched in the short amount of time that he was on this earth. I can only imagine how much pain in him leaving caused.I know that Josh was a very special person. I got to know Josh just over this summer and I know that he was an incredible human being. I feel for Josh's family and friends in this loss.God bless you all. May God watch you, keep you, and guide you in this difficult time.

Josh was one of the greatest influences in my life. When I was a freshman 2 years ago, I remember that we were having a freshmen orientation. I made a comment and he came up behind me and said "I'm watching you little buddy". Josh was more than just a friend to me, he was my older brother. He made an impact on not just me but hundreds, if not thousands of people through the FFA and his whole life. He always told me to never give up and always do my best. He told me that one day I would be a great state officer. Whether that happens or not I'm still going to use every one of the leadership things that he has taught me. I loved and still love this guy so much. I'll miss you Josh and God will watch over you and your family.

I can't remember the very first time I met Josh, but when I did meet him it didn't feel like he was just my sister's boyfriend, he felt like my brother because he wasn't any different than us. He fit in perfect with us, and thats why I think everyone loved him so much. He really helped me out alot with my horses, if one of them were sick. I loved having him around to talk to. When he came to the house he would ride with me, and I never have anyone to ride with. I think of him now everytime I am riding my horses. I will miss him so much and I'll always keep a place in my heart for him!

Josh was an amazing example of what a true leader should be he was all about putting others before himself. When i was in a bind last summer josh opened up his apartment and let me stay even though he was gone. I had the honor of knowing Josh for many years and I was proud to call him a friend and a member of the state officer family. Josh always went above and beyond anything ever asked of him he was a friend to many and an inspiration to us all. Josh will be truely missed by us all God has just gained another angle in Josh Morgan. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family.

Chuck and I (Alissa) are good friends with the Foster family. The Foster's are more then just friends, they are family to us. I still remember the first time we met Josh, it was Tawni's Prom night. We waited with Travis & Stacy for them to come home so we could see them all dressed up. When they walked in the door Chuck started giving Josh a hard time, telling him that he brought Tawni home too late! Without missing a beat Josh smiled, stuck out his hand to shake Chuck's and said, you must be Uncle Chuck! Nice to met you! Until then we had never met him and he already knew who we were. We saw him every so often but it seemed like he was part of the family forever! He was always happy and nice when we saw him! Last Christmas Tawni & Josh gave the families pictures of the 2 of them. I said how nice they were and that I would like one too! Josh disappeared and came back in the kitchen with one in a frame and said, this is for you and Chuck, Merry Christmas. I still have that picture on the table with our family pictures and it brings a smile to my face everytime I look at it! Josh was greatly loved by everyone and will be greatly missed! Josh will always have a special place in our hearts, he was very special to us!!!

I met Josh in FFA and didn't really get to know him much until FFA Camp this summer...At camp he was so nice and fun! He made my experience a blast, and helped me enjoy the experience to it's fullest. I will always remember him as a leader, a friend, and a great person!
