Josh was the sweetest and funniest young man ever. I loved being around him, if he was in the room, there was no way you could be in a bad mood. He was very dedicated to his country and longed to serve, which he did, for a while. before he became ill. He was a loving husband to his sweet wife and a great friend with anyone who crossed his path. Josh, you will be greatly missed by so many, but all our memories of you will be precious. Rest in peace my dear friend. I love you.
