You taught me how to be proud of who I am 20 years ago. I have always been proud to call you friend and family. Words can’t express my grief. Thank you for being the life of the party, the heart in a dark world, and the best friend I’ve ever had.

May Josh’s soul rest in peace, I firmly believe that God will accept him with open arms for all the good he has done while he was on this earth. He brought smiles to our face every time we saw him. We will surely miss the presence of a truly lovable and kind person. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
