Josh absolutely loved spending time with family and friends. He loved listening to music. Family was very important to him. He could always make you laugh.

He enjoyed collecting rocks, crystals and coins. He had an eye for antiques and enjoyed researching and learning about the history behind them. He enjoyed reading about ancient history. He was a deep thinker and enjoyed debating different theories about the world. He would spend many hours in the mountains camping and fishing. Nature was a healing place for him.

Josh was one of the kindest humans on this earth. He was companionate and caring. He would help anyone, he would give them the shirt off his back even if he only had the shirt on his back. Josh was honest, respectful and faithful. He believed in God above. Josh didn t feel the importance of worldly possessions that society has focused on. He saw a bigger more important picture and meaning of life. He was a free spirit.
