I was so saddened to hear of Josh's untimely passing. My son played football with him as an underclassman. For a long time he was just that tough player with the beautiful hair and striking smile, until my son told me of Josh's kindness and humor, as well as the frequent support he provided with football. Josh had a brief presence in my sons life, but I knew he would always have a place in both our memory. Although that will remain, I feel such a loss and am so sad for all of you, his family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I only met Josh once but he made a lasting impression. I drove him in my van for WKHS's annual football neighborhood collection. I was impressed by Josh's kindness to my son, Patrick, who was a freshman on the football team at the time. He was outgoing and charming as well. You have my deepest sympathy and prayers.

Dear Sharon, John, Isaac and Daniel,
I cannot express how very sorry I am for the loss of your son and brother. Josh was such a sweet and considerate person. He was a respectful and confident young man and we feel fortunate he was a part of our daughter, Jessica's, life. I have always had a special place in my heart for Josh and I will never forget him. I pray that the deep sorrow you are feeling now soon eases and the strength of your family and friends pulls you through to a place where the memories of Josh can make you smile again. I trust Josh has found a peaceful and loving resting place in the presence of our Heavenly Father. May God bless each of you and keep you in His care.

I was Josh's teacher at the Delaware Area Career Center for the one semester that he attended our school. Josh was a very self-motivated, polite, intelligent, and articulate young man. His goals and dreams were many and I know that he made a difference in the lives he touched for the short time he was with us. I am so saddened by his passing and pray for his family and friends. Please know that the staff at DACC remembers Josh well and will never forget the short time he spent at our school. He will be greatly missed in this world!
