I first remember Josh as a 2 year old, and he could eat up a storm of food. He was a kind and gentle soul and always glad to see you.

Josh had a smile that could light up a room! And when he spoke about the things he was passionate about (music, food, a job he had just accepted, etc.) he would beam. We will always remember him as the most sincere guy, with a big heart and a big laugh - the kind of person who found joy in so many things. His positive outlook and infectious smile will be greatly missed, and my family is fortunate to have gotten to know him and share some wonderful moments with him and his family. Sending love and positive energy to the Marks family at this difficult time.

How do I say goodbye to my brother Josh? Losing him hurts so much,for his family and for all of the other lives he touched. He was a kind and thoughtful man. His joy was infectious. Little brother, you are so very loved.
Joshua´s life was not easy by any means. Yet, the more life threw at him,the stronger his faith and optimism became. I will always be amazed by that.
The world is dimmer and emptier without this sweet, funny, talented soul.
I miss you so much Josh. You battled hard but kidney and heart disease took their toll. No more battles to fight. Rest in peace.

My brother was and always will be deeply loved by his family. And equally missed. He had an unshakeable faith and joy - no matter what life threw his way. The world didn't know how lucky it was to have Josh in it. I'm just so grateful he's at peace now. No more suffering with kidney and heart issues. Thank you for everything, Joshua.
