They say to know someone is to love them, but that was not the case with Josh. He did not have to know you to love you. He just loved you, without question, without hesitation, and without cause. He loved to make others happy and feel special. Josh was a phone call away to whoever needed him, with a smile on his face and hands out to help. He never ended a call or conversation without telling you he loved you. All he aimed for was to be a loving husband, father and friend. In his short life of 36 years, wouldn't you know his last words were, “I love you so much.” What a gift his love and life was to those who knew him.
“Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.” Psalm 20:7
