I never met you as I live in England and am online friends with your Aunt Carol. I cannot begin to say how sorry I feel that this has happened. I can only pray that God has you safe in his arms and your family can find a little comfort in that. Praying for you all and lighting a candle of remembrance. x

Haven't seen you in years, Josh, but you made a mark on my life with the other kids in the neighborhood, whether you knew it or not. Thanks for the chance to cross paths. Rest easy, man.

Josh was a friend of my son, Jonathan Testa, who passed away in Dec 2014. My heart aches for his new wife, and his parents and family and friends. I am praying for all of you. Rest In Peace, precious Josh ❤

Josh was one of the most decent, respectable, humans I'd ever met. For someone I barely knew, he left a huge mark on my life. I'm so very sad for his family, friends, and coworkers.
