Rest in the peace of God. May the touch of God be with your family until they join you in that rest.

Praying for your family during this difficult time and remembering a young man who was a bit ornery but without a mean bone in his body! May the Lord comfort you as only He can! Srta. Perkins, CJHS Spanish teacher.

I miss you so much buddy but we will see each other again. You where the best nephew a uncle could ever have Josh. Life is not always fair yet you didnt complain. Silas and Kaden love you and just by how you handled all your battles you faced you taught both of them valuable lessons. Say hi to your grandpa for me. I love you buddy

My joyful Grandson, Grandpa and Nana love you to the moon and back and even beyond.

Peace Out! Love, Howard, Donna and Chris

Oh, my sweet Joshua....Our time together wasn't long enough, but then, would it ever be? I will never forget when my beautiful baby boy came into this world, such a peaceful gorgeous baby. From the moment our eyes met we were inseparable. I had never known that kind of love and though our lives weren't always perfect we always knew the unconditional love was there. I am so blessed for getting to be your mom. Growing up.... You tested me with your orneriness but relaxed me with your smile. I can't believe what a wonderful man you became. Those last days of your life, though they tested me greatly, I felt love beyond measure, an unworldly love, an indescribable connection that I will cherish forever. You were the epitome of strength, something of a Marvel comic hero that out shined any weakness that may have been questioned. May we all live our lives with the honesty, integrity, compassion and will that you did throughout yours. I don't know why I was chosen to be yours but son, I promise to never take your lessons for granted. You will never be forgotten, as I told you sitting next to your bed that night.... our hearts are one, we are one and I am with you. I love you so much and miss you already! Mom

May you do all you have dreamed of doing until you meet up with all your family again someday

Shannon, I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with your family.

I had the pleasure of knowing Josh and working with him on the bus for several years ! I remember when Maddie was small. She would watch for him to come home. She would run out to the bus and Josh would put on that smile ! You could tell they had a special bond ! Sometimes on Holidays we gave out treats. Josh would save some for Maddie. I have some fond memories of Josh ! I loved his smile ! He was a precious young man ! Shannon, Maddie, Steve and other family members, Ya'll were a blessing to him ! I know how much you loved him ! I will continue praying for all of you during this time. I hope you find comfort in knowing he is in heaven with no more pain. He is running, jumping and free ! You will see him again ! Love you all !

Shannon, that is a wonderful tribute to your son! I never had the privilege to meet him, but he sounds like a very fine young man who will be missed by all who knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Remember, God promises to work all things for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
