Joshua Mogardo Obituary
Josh had a deep and abiding sense of patriotism and love of family. He admired and respected all those who served, whether in the military, police or fire services. As a young man, he did volunteer work at the hospital at Otis. He also had been an avid member of the Civil Air Patrol. Josh served in the Army National Guard and his most recent active duty posting was at Otis.
He was endlessly curious and had a wide knowledge of certain periods of history and science. Josh was an accomplished and enthusiastic diver and loved soccer.
He was the son of Patricia (Monahan) Goulding of Forestdale and Terry Mogardo of East Falmouth; father of Aaron and Alexis; brother of Jacob and his wife Stacie of Hyannis; stepbrother of Stuart Goulding, Eric and Christopher Jones; and also leaves his girlfriend and best friend, Alicia DiGiandomenico.
A memorial service will be held Tuesday, Nov. 11, at 5 p.m. in the John-Lawrence Funeral Home, 3778 Falmouth Road, Route 28, Marstons Mills. Burial will be private.

I just found out about this book. Hearing of your passing was a shock. I remember growing up close to you and your family. I haven't been in touch much since highschool but I know you did well with a life that ended too soon. Your friend Jarod.

i wrote this for you a long time ago baby...you thought i lost it but here it is! at least the PG parts of it, i'm reasonably sure this book is moderated :) close your eyes and remember how much i love you...it's only temporary, this life of ours. i'll wrap my fingers around yours again someday handsome, for now just rest in peace.
The only thing different that day was that we made plans...
I knew you
Parts of you
Enough to collapse a piece of the wall on a Friday night
And run my mouth long enough for you to wonder why I hadn’t left yet
And why the sun was rising and we were still telling stories
Enough for you to realize that you weren’t alone on the earth
And maybe I wasn’t damaged goods
I wanted more of you baby
And you quietly obliged
Unbeknownst to me I had started over
It seemed like a good idea at the time
And it felt so good
Why wouldn’t I keep going
I can’t ever sleep knowing you’re awake near me
I never want to miss a millisecond of consciousness with you
Even if we’re just breathing
Barely aware of one another’s lungs heaving
I kiss the sweat off your brow
And grin mischieviously into the candle-lit semi-darkness
Because you look beautiful bathed in shadows.

Dear Patty and Terry, We were shocked and deeply saddened to read about Joshua. It seems like yesterday that we were in the hospital together when our boys were born. You and your family are all in our prayers.

I remember holding you in my arms when you were an infant. I remember you as a child and I know what you accomplished as a young man in too short a time. Now the dear Lord is holding you in his arms. May you rest in peace.
