Josh was such a wonderful person. I worked with him at Riverside Elementary and I am so saddened to hear the news. It always made me smile when I saw him throughout the community. He has always had a huge piece of my heart!

Dear Carpenter Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Whether I saw Josh after school at the library or when I worked with him at Andersons as his job coach, he was never without a smile. He always worked hard with diligence, speed, accuracy and most importantly a great attitude. I will miss him, his smile and cheerful disposition.
