All the times we would talk and the day I remember the most is walking the reservoir or around the woods talking about life. You had so many goals and what you wanted your future to be like. I still can not believe you are gone. My prayers are for the family and your children and friends everyone that loved you. Your vibes and smile gave alot of hope to people.

I am shocked and deeply sorry to hear about Josh's passing. Even though my time interacting with him was many years ago, I will never forget the energy and genuineness that he brought into every situation. Shauna and I are praying that the family that he has left behind is comforted in their mourning and that those who love him would find the peace that Christ offers to the broken.

“The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.”
