My Basham... one of my longest friends in Butler. People just gravitated towards him when they met him, I know I did when I moved here in junior high. He cared about people, he was genuine, he was too good for this world... I think that's why God took him so soon. It was extremely difficult to say goodbye but all of our wonderful memories will NEVER leave me. Hang in there Faye, Kevin & family... your Joshy will always be with you! ♡♡♡

Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your son, brother, nephew,uncle and friend. We know no words cover the amount of grief a parent feels when they loose a child. The love and support of your family and loved ones will be what will get you thru this terrible time. When you think no one understands how you feel just give them a chance to just hold you or just your hand. One day at a time and you will learn to breath again. Josh will never be gone. He lives forever and always in your heart.

Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle's! - Psalms 103:2-5 NLT
The book of Psalms has always been inspiring to me, because David wrote it as a man who had endured suffering as well as great successes in his life. He knew what it was like to suffer the loss of a child, and in this chapter he reminds us that it is God who redeems our life from the pit. Whether it is a pit of emotional despair over a loss or an illness, it is the Lord that will pick us up and take us out of the depths of sadness. He will also crown us with his steadfast love and mercyboth symbols of hope and reassurance.

Josh was the most beautiful soul I have ever met! There wasn't anyone like him! He was vibrant and full of life. He always would make me smile no matter what I was going thru his presence made it better! He was like a big teddy bear..I couldn't help but love him! His soul lives on forever in heaven. .where he belongs! He was a beautiful example of grace..he left his problems at the door and was nothing but love to me! The Lord knows his heart and it was good! I know the angels were rejoicing when they received him into God's presence where he will never again suffer or mourn or want for anything but be in love at peace eternally! Father I thank you for Josh and I pray that we meet again. I pray for peace beyond all understanding to be distributed to his loved ones and that they may come to know you thru this period of mourning. In Jesus name. Amen.

Josh and I weren't close I knew him through other friends, but I can say that he knew how to make someone's day. He was fun to be around and never left anyone out. He was an amazing person and will be missed by so many. Hope you are living it up up there.
