Ms. Edwards I don't know if you remember me, but Josh used to walk to my house every morning before school and we'd go from there, regardless, I wanted to personally send my condolences, along with many thoughts and prayers. Since I now live in Minneapolis I couldn't make it Friday, although I tried like crazy to be there as he was and will be a close friend in my friend in my heart! Take Care!

Josh was part of the brightest years of my childhood. We did lots of fun naughty kid stuff together. & Thanx to him & Jesse I have the words to Pearl Jam's Jeremy memorized for life. I will light a candle & play it now for him. I regret not being around to see him & many of my friends from this time grow up. From the comments on this feed I see he did well :) My heart goes out to you all <3

“What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.”
Barb you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. If you need anything I am here for you!!!

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Josh was one of the toughest football players I ever coached, but he had a gentle soul and a good heart. I will never forget his sense of humor and the classic Sabercat mascot heist.May your family rest in God's peace knowing Josh is resting in God's love.

Words can never be found to express how our hearts feel. Josh was a wonderful grandson, son, father, boyfriend, uncle, nephew, and friend! My life has been blessed to have had him in it. He made my sister smile, taught my nephew how to play ball, and allowed kendal to be a daddys girl!

Heaven has a new Angel.

Our Heartfelt Sympathy to Jessica, Kendal, Kaden and the Carver Family

Barb Wikel

April 16, 2014

I will really miss watching you loving and caring for my Jessica and for Kaden and Kendal. I hope Kaden remembers everything you taught him about baseball and how much you truely loved him. He will always be a great big brother for your princess, Kendal. Kendal will always know how much you loved her. You were a wonderful Father. The entire Wikel family will miss you, I hope you have found your peace. Remembering you, Barb

April 16, 2014

I will always remember Josh coming over and coloring the Easter eggs and carving pumpkins at Halloween. Those are my least favorite things to do during the holidays and I so appreciated him doing it with Kaden and Kendal so I could sit back and watch thier enjoyment together. His appetite at family meals always reminded me of Grandpa Wikel. I never could have enough shrimp at Christmas time for Josh. Most of all I will miss watching him loving my Jessica and Kaden and Kendal. May God give us the strength we need to get thru this.You will be deeply missed. Barb

We are so sorry for your loss and are keeping you and your family in our prayers.

April 16, 2014

We've all been through tragedies. I can't think of one more tragic than this. Someway, somehow we have to remember the good times. There were many. “mans night” when Josh, Kaden and I went to the Brewers game. Winter when Josh, Kaden and I hit golf balls at Currie dome. Last summer when I went to the park with Jessica, Josh, Kaden and Kendal. Seeing Josh and Jessica taking turns with Kaden and baseball and Kendal on the swings and slide was one of the best times of my life. Nobody had to say I love you. It was very obvious. Josh's smile. Knowing the family was coming over to eat. He loved everything we made, and told and thanked us. I'm not sure if it's possible, but we have to try to work through this.

May you all find peace at this difficult time. So sorry for your loss.

My deepest sympathies! Josh will surely be missed. He was an excellent dad to Kaden and Kendal. I will remember his easy spirit and kindness. May God work in his glorious ways to give you peace and the strenght to get through each and every day.
What is left are the good memories.
