I was sad to hear the news of Josh´s passing and I would like to let his beloved family know about my thoughts and prayers. As a stroke survivor and living with aphasia, I enjoyed working with him since November through a zoom "buddy" program. In such a short time, he also shared his musical talents, love and passion for music by hosting a "Music Appreciation" which he produced weekly. Such a legacy from a great guy! I wish his family and friends deep peace.

Family,
In memory of those who left us too soon. We remember you in the morning, in the night, when we look at the stars, a song, a place, a smell... You're always with us. Tillie Smith and Kay Kennedy. Tillie is in Dunedin Hale center VOHA.

There are no words to express my sadness. Not to see this amazing person, not to hear his music, not to give him a hug....to have seen him at Maggie´s Farewell event will stay with me. A young man of courage and the will to survive and face challenges head on was epic and inspiring.
You were so loved Josh. You live in all our hearts.
Rest in Peace. You are eternal now.
How you can show support

Dear Pastor and Nancy, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss of Joshua. I enjoyed listening to him play the piano. I have soo many memories from childrens choir, church plays, camp, church picnics... I can still hear his laugh. Well Joshua and Leah are walking on streets of gold . I'm praying for you, pastor, Travis, Matt and your families at this time. May God continue to give you strength

Dear Pastor and Nancy,
So sad to see the loss of Josh. We grew up at the church together, playing the piano, going to youth group activities etc... May God be with you more than ever during this difficult time.

My most sincere condolences. I knew him many years ago, not well, but did play for him once. A huge talent and very nice person.

Pastor and Nancy my heart is heavy and grieves with you. Joe and I were reminiscing about Josh and the many many wonderful memories we have. Joe was reminding me of one of his visits where he made up this song "go go bananas " all while constructing a human pyramid with Joe and the girls I babysat for. One of the thousand memories we have of him. I hope this memory I share brightens your day.

Dear pastor and Nancy,
I was so heartbroken to hear that Joshua has passed on. I have so many memories of him and Dee as children growing up in church and what good friends they were. Praying for you and your family as you go through this difficult time.
Blessings
