I remember as a kid, Josh, always having his potbelly bear with him similar to Isabella always having Hubel  with her

One of my favorite memories with Josh was  when it was just he and I are at home while the other kids were gone and he would be getting ready to go somewhere and he be down in his bedroom , his bedroom was always a mess because  he seemed 2 change  clothes every hour, so he would be fresh! He would have Creed on! He loved Creed and always seem to listen to it and he also loved  Live so every time I hear that music I think of him

Josh, I am completely heartbroken. Your family and friends are all in my thoughts and prayers because I know the amazing man that they lost. You are such an important part of my journey, and I hate I never got to thank you properly for everything you did. So thank you for laying on the floor with me anytime I got in a dark place. Thank you for always calling me out when I would lie to myself. Thank you for the friendship. I know you are so happy and at peace being with Him. I can’t wait until we meet again, friend. I love you. 

Josh ,man you were a great friend. the short time I knew you but you where so full of life you could brighten a room jus by walking in. Your stories were always amazing . You had one powerful testimony. I’m glad I got to hear your story not by anyone but you . love your brother. you will truly be missed 

Josh, you were such a bright light. You were always helping other people and you had a way of drawing people in to whatever it was that you were talking about. I knew you for a short time, but you will forever be remembered. It took awhile for you and I to connect but once we did, it was all jokes and laughter from that point on. You always had to pick on me and I the same. I will always remember that huge watch you wore! I picked on you about that all the time. I remember your face lighting up each time you talked about your children. You were a proud father for sure. Even if our time was short, I’m thankful God allowed our paths to cross. Thank you for sharing your smile,  jokes, knowledge, and goofy laugh with us. My thoughts and prayers for your family and especially your children. 

I was only able to spend about 20 days with you my friend, but in that short time, you made such a huge impact on my life. I loved our inside jokes and the serious conversations we were able to have. You will be missed more than you can imagine 💜

I called him Joshy I don't know why but that is what I always called him. He was the best little brother anybody could have, we had such a good time growing up. Especially when he was little me and my sister doted on him all the time, we were always dressing him up taking him around the neighborhood in the stroller  and everyone would remark what a beautiful baby boy he was. And that he was! I loved  him so very much we had so many good times together. I will always remember calling him. Dopper Dib because  that was short for Dibbles and when he heard that he would come running around the corner has little chunky self  fat legs grinning from ear-to-ear. No matter what he was doing he stopped and came around the corner to see us. I miss you so much Joshy, but I know that I will see you again, and I know that you are better and that you are free free from the demons Satan and the addictions  free from everything that has held you back for so long. I know the last 6 months of your life were the best of your life I'm glad you had that experience and that you got things together here on Earth and that your work was done!! I love you so much and miss you so much!!

For the short time I knew Joshua he was full of life, laughter and love. He was a funny guy. He was giver. He always wanted to make sure everyone was having a good time and taken care of. He will be missed and forever remembered in our hearts ❤️

Joshua was a incredible human being that loved life.  I was able to spend a lot of time with Joshua the last couple months of his life. He spoke about his family daily, it was obvious to me that his family, kids, mother and father were Incredibly precious to him. Joshua buddy, I miss and live you brother! Until we ride again my friend.

My favorite memory of him was always watching him play my guitar, he would always sing and every time I called him or he called me he would answer with “ahhh hey snook” and we would talk like childish little kids... I loved my dad with my whole heart. He meant everything to me. And always wills he has my heart and apart of me that no one else will have. He did as the best and loving man I have ever met and he will literally be missed so much!
