From your reigning RT class is where your root into healthcare immediately grew and started to blossom on the day of Graduation. It was a bittersweet moment, glad to be done with it all for good, yet the simple fact that we'd all never be together like this again. You trumped and triumphed through the RT program at SJVC like a champ. Never afraid to ask question nor did you act like you knew everything either, and a mysterious one at that. You were also very humble to say the least, but after that day, the occasional text led to the unfortunate and random news of your demise. All I can say is, you've crossed the finish line buddy and I'm sure it's safe to say that you'll be there waiting for every one who you cherished in your life. Josh, you were an amazing person here with us, and it is assured that your soul is content with the world's finest who have graced Earth with their magnanimous presences'. See ya on the other side buddy, someday.

When I met Josh in PIH's NICU, the first thing I noticed was his relaxed, calm personality. He immediately made you feel comfortable and was just a really nice guy. We are deeply saddened by his passing and send our thoughts and prayers to Vanessa and his family

Josh was a beautiful young man with a heart of gold. He will be missed very much. I will always cherish the moments that I spent with him; He was a tender soul and carried himself with a calmness. He was like a little brother to me and I was lucky enough to have enjoyed many of his concerns and aspirations for life. He was special.

I only knew Josh a few years but was immediately struck by his intelligence, dedication and gentle nature. In his short time with us, he made our department better. I am a better man for having known him.
To paraphrase Dickens; “It is a far, far better thing that you do, than you have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that you go to than you have ever known.” Let everyone know that Joshua made a difference and that I shall miss him.

Josh will be missed by the entire Respiratory Department at HH. He gave so much to his patient's and their families - and always with a smile! Josh was kind, professional and talented. He was there for those who needed him - a true care provider. He made a difference within our department and the hospital. It was my pleasure to work with him and watch him grow from a student to the strong clinician he became! My thoughts and prayers go out to all those who lives he touched.

Josh,
I love you so much! You are such an amazing person. You and I have so many amazing and unforgettable memories from growing up. I remember us always playing around and doing stuff to get in trouble. When I found out that I had a baby brother coming into this world, I was so happy to show you off. We were always by each others side. Remember the walnut tree we use to always go and talk to it because Dad told us Bert and Ernie were in it? No words can describe remembering the smile on your face because of Ernie. You achieved so many goals and I'm very proud of everything you have done. I remember playing baseball together all the time. Sharing our room together is something I will always cherish. I remember it being pitch black and we would always check if the other one was awake. There are so many memories, I could keep going forever. I will always love you with all my heart!

I'm sending wishes of God's comfort and love during this difficult time.

My name is Carol, I am Vanessa's aunt. I was lucky to have been invited to their wedding in September where I first met Josh. I knew at that moment that they were so in love with each other and he was going to make my niece very happy. I could see the big smile on his face and the gleam in his eye even time he looked at her. He was a very beautiful man; I just wish I had got to know him better.
