Growing up with Josh from Elementary school, he was always a very kind soul. I ran into him recently and we discussed how much Weaverville had changed over the years. He mentioned how he and Dusty were still best friends and how he loved to spend time with his dad. In one passing conversation, anyone could see that he was a man that knew what mattered in life. You all have gained a guardian angel by your side.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and close friends. May God grant you peace during this hard time.
