Josh was a talented artist; the beauty and sentiment of his work will be cherished by his family for many years to come. His passion for cooking was another part of Josh’s life where his creativity radiated, those closest to him had the pleasure of dining on his latest creations. His kind demeanor and tender heart created a kinship with animals. He will be remembered for his bear hugs, sharp wit, and laughter that could fill a room.
