Josh you were such a good friend and a loving person. You were always there for me and my mom when we needed someone. When noone was there, you were. We laughed together, we cried together. You will never be forgotten. One day i will get to see you again. Love you Josh. >>Rest in paradise<< <3

Josh you have been a bright spot in my life since I met you. I can't believe that such a wonderful young man has been taken from those of us who love him. You will remain a part of my memory as a son forever more. I will pray for your family that they might find peace.

Dear Josh,
I still cannot believe you are gone. I've lost track of the countless great times we had growing up together. I will make sure I tell your son someday how cool we were back in the day and how awesome his father was. When my time comes and we are drinking hearty draughts of beer and Jack Daniels in Valhalla we'll get to hang out again. Until then, I'm going to miss you very much bro. Rest easy my friend.
