Josh was an amazing young man whose infectious laughter warmed our hearts and his unwavering love for his girls Lilly, River, and Hazel touched the hearts of all who knew him. If you knew anything about Josh at all ….the one thing you knew is that he loved and adored being the best father and being the best husband. He was hard working and kind hearted. And the most dedicated and loyal Miami Dolphins fan ever.
