Well, I never knew Josh, all that I have read that has been posted on Facebook tales of an outstanding young human being. He had so much potential, yet he lived life to the fullest for his 23 years. He has left a mark on so many lives that he will never ever be forgotten. Prayers are with the family, especially Emma. Prayers now are with his mother, Sherri, after the auto accident, that has left her so badly injured.

Josh was a light at AU and a constant encourager. He was one of the first people I met at AU in my TAG group. He was so kind and always smiled and stopped to chat when he saw me. He will be so missed.

Josh came to Smyrna Pres. when he was at Boys Farm. We always remember him as a kind, gentle giant who loved others fiercely, but moreover loved his Lord. Our prayers are with each of you . May you find comfort in the memories that you have of him and that He ran the race and fought the good fight .

My heart was hurt to hear of Josh's passing. When he came to live with Kristi and family he became one of my courthouse babies along with the girls. I watched him grow to become the man he was. Sending my sincere condolences to all the family. Jarrod, Kristi, Kaylee and Megan sending my love to all of you.

To know Josh was to love him! When he came to live with Kristie, Jarrod, Megan & Kaylee, he immediately became a part of our family! I am thankful that I have so many memories of our times together, whether at church or family gatherings. I am certainly going to miss that big smile and those awesome hugs anytime I saw him no matter where we were. Didn´t matter how long it had been since we had seen each other I was always met with a big smile and a "hey, Aunt Marcia" and then came the hug!!! I am so grateful that God allowed me to be a small part of Josh´s life. So thankful that Kristie & Jarrod brought him into our Hallman family! Go rest high Josh, for your work on Earth is done! Till we meet again, I love you big!!!

I had the privilege of having Josh in class as a professor at Anderson University. I was looking forward to conducting he and Emma's wedding. I'm grateful for Josh's faith in the Lord Jesus. Praying for the family. Grieving with hope.

I had the honor of knowing Josh through our time at AU. He never met a stranger and was such a kind and radiant person. I am thankful to have known someone so kind and wonderful!

To Know Josh was to Love Him
When Josh came to live with Jarrod, Christie, Megan, & Kaylee he immediately became a part of our HallmanStrong clan. As a little boy he would visit GranGran at the nursing home & gently stroll her in the wheelchair & so sweetly talk with her. When Aunt Margaret was diagnosed with cancer, Josh asked his Boys Farm foster family to take him to visit her several times. Always thinking of others.
He also captured the heart of his Nanny Long.
Josh was Always loving, kind, & caring!
He has Truly left an Indelible mark on our big ole family !
Go Rest High Josh
Love,
Uncle Ron, Aunt Mirinda & Family

I wish I had more photos of the two of us together but Josh was one of the coolest people I´ve ever met. Our time together was short lived but he really was one of the truest and most sincere friends I had while I was at Anderson my freshman year. He was loyal and a lovable guy. I know it´s silly but this is a picture of our trucks. We bonded heavily over our love for old ford rangers and our pair was the most iconic duo on campus. I miss you brother, thank you for the love and the kindness you showed me and all of our friends from AU.

My family are so shocked and so sorry to hear of the passing of this beautiful young man. I only met Josh on a few occasions, but I was so impressed with his kindness and love that he had for everyone. His life was short but it impacted all who met him. I will always remember this fine young man.

Josh was a precious soul. David and I got to spend time with him in his younger years in our Sunday School, Children's Church and Christmas Programs. His smile and joy just filled a room. Josh will be greatly missed by all those he touched. We love you Josh.
