Happy 36th Birthday Josh, not a day goes by that I don´t say, yeah baby, it stuck in my head from when you would always say it all those years ago. You come to mind as much as my Mom does. When we lose someone so young and unexpected, it´s devastating and when we don´t get to tell that person good bye and it leaves a hurt in our hearts that never goes away. I miss you as much as humanly possible. You were always my little Josh with all the curly hair. I love you your Aunt Gwen

Miss and Love you Josh. I hear your name and many memories pop into my head. One time your Nanny and I were talking and you came running up to us, yelling EXCUSE ME and we didn´t answer and you said it again. Your Nanny reminded you that it´s not polite to bud into a conversation, she said you need to wait your turn. You looked at her and said, BUT I said excuse me! Oh those blue eyes and curly curls won her over again and we all laughed at the whole story. I have more stories to share on another day. I love you Josh, xo Aunt Gwen

Josh, you´re never forgotten!
I have a video of you when you were 4 or 5 at Thanksgiving at my house. I had set the camcorder up to video everything going on in the dining room and you came into the room and saw the camera, you looked around to see if anyone noticed you and then you got in front of the camera, lol. You started being your silly self and making great funny faces, and I let you, because you were as cute and funny as you could be. Love and miss you Josh R.I.P.

of course... i always think of him. i remember at his ceremony you and your family had said you were keeping him at home so his friends would visit. it was just so hard to think that its all real. your a great mom he always talked about your chilli spaghetti , tried getting me to eat some once :). writing to him and hearing from you makes me feel like he hears me ..because i know he's close to you.
June 11, 2011
Heather, thank you so much for remembering Josh. I'm glad you found Josh's guest book. I wish more of his friends knew of the guest book. We all miss his great big smile and his hugs. Thanks again, Robin Kiger

josh,
i think i see you all the time.... i remember the last time i saw you. you had a big beard and a bigger smile, you gave me a bear hug. you are still the kindest person i know... genuine and playful, even though you never stopped getting taller. like one of those puppies that is so much bigger than they know. your the first loss in my life, wasn't prepared and it's still painfully unfair. i read all of your notes... i hope you see them too. everyone loved you because you loved everyone. you were an angel then and your an angel now. life is precious and fragile and every second matters. you remind me if this. thank you for coming into my life ..... it took me a long time to find a way to tell you. keep the lights on for me <3
May 12, 2011
Joshy, I had a dream about you the other night and I missed you so much! It felt so real. I remember thinking of you as I fell asleep and how much I wanted you to be here, how much I wish things could have changed! You are my first love and always will be! I miss you with all my heart and not a day goes by that I don't think about you. And I know that you know all this because I feel you with me sometimes when I pray to you. I love you Josh and I always will! I just wish that I could share that with you in person rather than through words :( hugs and kisses to you Josh! You really are missed!

March 5, 2011
Josh, that awful day has come and gone and my heart still aches for you. Life's lessons are hard. If only we could turn back time. Everyone thinks they could have changed the outcome. But the truth is it was an accident. No one could have seen this coming. I hope everyone can see that as time goes by. As time passes, it gets harder for me because it's setting in that I will never see my son on this earth again. You will, however, be in my heart forever. I love you and miss you. Love, Mom.

July 31, 2010
Josh I can't stop thinking of you lately and how much I miss you. Everything we did and how we talked. The secrets we kept. I love you so much Josh and that will never change. You were my first love and it sucks that things happened the way that they did. I want you to know I take responsibility for what happened... Everything was supposed to be so much different. Sorry, I just needed to talk to you and this and praying were my 2 best options. It was just easier to not make sense on the computer than not make sense in a prayer. I love you Josh and I will see you one day and set things straight with you. I hope you are enjoying heaven

Its been so long since you've gone away, But it seems like only yesterday we were laughing and living our lives to the fullest. I miss you so much and I cant wait to see you again when my time comes to take me away. I do the best i can to spread your heart of gold and keep the peace you brought into and around my life alive. You inspired me to do so much, I cant thank you enough nor can I ever repay the love, laughter, and inspiration you brought into my life.
I pray that peace is with you, I love you forever and always.

josh (i never call you by your first name ever)
i love with with all my heart. you are one of the most amazingest people i have ever met and i dont know where my life would be if i never did get closer to you. we( as in our little group of amazing people) miss you so much. there isnt a day that goes by that someone doesnt mention your name. most the time its funny things that u have said or done and we all get that smile on our faces and think about that. ive left so many comments on your myspace cuz well cuz i like to. there were so many times i wanted to punch you but twice as many times when i just wanted to give u a big hug and hold your hand cuz you were so amazing. i went to LA yesterday and all i could think of is how many times ive sat in your front seat and played pokemon. im gonna miss our little adventures so much but i know you will always be by my side where ever i go, cuz i need a co pilot too. i wish i could tell you in person how much i love you and all the things i wish i would have told you before. your forever in my heart, soul and mind.
i love you so much my splishy splash
i remember i made u a bracelet that said that.

Hey Josh, i still think about you everyday, every time i look through my cell phone i see your name and every memory i have of you flashes before my eyes. im not ready to erase your number just like im not ready to erase any single memory i have with you. From jr high to your last day we were close friends, and dont think death changed that because i will always consider you a very close friend, and i will never forget you.
my deepest condolences to the kiger family
March 17, 2008
Josh,
I never really understood how much I missed you until now. Everything seems to be going so wrong. I wish I could just come up to you and give you a hug, but that will have to wait until we meet in heaven. I keep thinking that I will somehow see you out walking around, but I can't believe that I really won't. I miss you and I will always have a place for you in my heart. I love you Josh.
March 5, 2008
Josh,
I have been through rough times with you, but I loved you through everything. I remember that you were the one who got me into Pantera. I do like them but I can't listen to them. It reminds me of you. I couldn't believe that you had passed away...I'm still in shock. Please know that I have loved and still love you.

Hi Josh, it's Aunt Gwen...I think of you all the time... now and always...I have such amazing memories of you...The day you were born was such a special day...your Mom went to the doctor for her final visit before your due date...her doctor told her that you were ready NOW...not next week...she had her bag packed and camera charged and in the car just in case...your Dad wasn't there because you weren't supposed to arrive yet...the doctor called for an ambulance to take you and your Mom to the hospital...of course your Mom wanted to drive herself...as soon as your Mom arrived at the hospital she was taken into the delivery room...and you were born...Rhonda, Casey, Ashley, and I went to the hospital to see you when you were a few hours old...You were so beautiful and "big". Josh, that was only the beginning...I remember the time that we were all in Las Vegas visiting Nanny and Papa...I road home with you guys and there was an eclipse...it was the Thanksgiving weekend...the interstate was stopped and everyone was getting out to stretch and watch the special treat in the skies...I also remember when you couldn't resist a video camera on the top of a tripod just sitting in the middle of the walkway at my house...we were all playing cards and I saw you walk by the camera and stop...then you looked over your shoulder to see if anyone was watching you...and thinking that no one was....that was when you couldn't control yourself any longer....you got right into the lens and started making the funniest faces ever...then you just walked away...I watched that video with you in 2005...you laughed out loud at yourself...do you remember?...The last time I saw you...you had just gotten your hair cut and you came into the room where I was and asked...Aunt Gwen does my hair look OK? I told you that it looked great and took some pictures...you grew into a very handsome young man...Josh...I know that you are watching over all of us and that we will all be together again someday...I will never forget you...and when we meet again I'll bring the video's...I Love You JWK...Aunt Gwen/Mim...ps...give Uncle Earl a Big hug for me :)

Josh, It's mom. I don't really want to say good-bye to you. It makes it too real. I miss your smiles and hugs and all your funny faces. Even though you challenged us in every aspect of life, you knew we loved you with all our hearts. I cry often. I miss you. Dad and Jake miss you. Rylee-Kate misses you more and forever and to infinity. It's a ditto for everyone else. I can't say good-bye. It's too final, but I will say "I LOVE YOU FOREVER." You were the light of my life. Until I see you again, MOM, MOMMY, MOTHER

Josh- There isn't a moment that goes by everyday where I am not thinking about you. You were such a great person and I can't beleive you are gone. Sorry I fell apart at the service. I tried to hold myself together and be strong for you and your family, but it was just so overwhelming. I know now that you are in a better place and that you are watching over all of us and I know that you wouldn't want me to be sad. Please be safe....I will see you soon. I love you Josh. You will never be forgotten.

The service for Josh was beautiful, I was lucky enough to know Josh thru Norco Little League and as a friend of my oldest son. He was a very kind, polite and happy kid. I feel privleged to have had him to my house and to call him a friend of the family.
I remember how surprised I was to see how tall he had gotten but, he still had the same big smile. Your strength and courage thru this sad time is admirable. God Bless, and know that Josh is smiling on you all now.

John and Robin, I didn't know your son but I do know the love of a parent towards a child is the closest thing I will ever experience as to how much God loves us. In the days to come you will be filled with many emotions, I would encourage you to lean on the Lord, you will never make any earthly sense of the loss of your precious Joshua. I will pray for you and your family and ask God to confort you in this most difficult time.
God Bless,
