Josh Metzler, 19 FALLBROOK -- Josh Metzler passed away Thursday, March 10, 2011. He was born October 25, 1991 in Fallbrook, Calif., son of Ken and Lisa Metzler. Josh was a graduate of Fallbrook High School. He was attending Northern Arizona University where he was also working in sales and advertising.
