Josh was one of the greatest people you could ever meet. Always very positive and helpful. Also one of the greatest singers and performers in his past life. I had the pleasure of participating in several studio recording projects with Josh. As a vocalist he struggled to perfect everything he did. He was one of the greatest vocalists of his style. I was wishing to eventually do more recording but it seems time has fallen short. Josh will be missed by every person he has met.

Even though my husband and I only met Josh in 2019 (with Laura), we enjoyed spending every other Sunday night in his company eating good food and having wonderful discussions. He loved cooking special dishes for our small group of friends. It was a true pleasure getting to hear his heart as he shared such deep thoughts on life and faith. He will be greatly missed.

I lack words to express how extremely devastated I am. You were a wonderful friend. I was looking forward to when you and Laura would come to visit John and me in Kenya. But God had other bigger plans for you. May you rest in the Lord, Josh. Till we meet again! ❤❤
