Josh was the most happiest, playful & beautiful child a parent could ever ask for; from always playing in the sand as a little boy to riding his new silver bike at 3 1/2 yrs old; to singing his lungs out on a 3000 watt P.A system at the age of 3; playing toy dinosaurs, stopping traffic at a busy 4 way intersection on his blue tricycle 3 wheeler to making short films on a camcorder. Researching more info on the Beatles & then the Beatles themselves. Dressing like a true professional businessman in school, to writing & playing music. He grew up to be a well loved & respected young man by so many. Josh brought hope & joy to all whom he met with his handsome looks & smile along with his gorgeous blue eyes. He would tell me: "all we need is love to get along" quoting his favorite music band the Beatles. Josh (Goober) Thank you so much for giving us almost 22yrs of your love & life. Though I don't want to believe you're gone my heart devastatingly beats to remind me I not only lost a son but a great friend & beautiful kind person. You made us very proud Josh -Love Dad

My heart aches for your family. My youngest son was friends with Justin when you lived in Epsom. I remember Josh walking to work at McDonalds. He was so dedicated to that job at such a young age walking a few miles in the heat or the cold. I am deeply sorry.

I knew Josh as a student and member of my homeroom for three years. He was a sweet, insightful and naturally intelligent young man who was always polite, loved to dress "like a prep" and enjoyed the Beatles very much. My condolences to his family and loved ones.
