I want to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.  Josh was one of my students at Broadmoor and I remember him as a kind and quiet kid-- the type of student that teachers love to have. After watching the memorial video and reading the other messages- I know that he had turned into a wonderful man.  I am deeply sorry for your loss.

I wish i could have been apart of your life more than what i was. I hope you are at peace now and you will forever be in my heart. I pray for your mom and your siblings and everyone who you touched. you will never be forgotten josh

There is never the "right" words to express to a parent when they have to bury their own baby. My son was good friends with Josh and his life is forever changed, as so many surely are. I know God's light seems so dim at times such as these, but know that you and your family are never alone and Josh's bright light will always shine. Prayers to you and your family for peace and strength to get through this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers for your family Brandy I so very sorry for you and your family my god bless you

I'm so sorry for your family's loss! I'm afraid I won't be able to attend services due to a chemo treatment, but your family is definitely in my prayers!

i cant stop thinking about you bro. all the good times we had together. you were one of my best friends. you were the only person to come hang out with me before i went and turned myself in to the jail. wish i could have seen you recently :(. i miss you so much man. i just cant stand the thought of never seeing you again. but its ok because our paths shall pass again once i have left this world whenever that might be. love you with all my heart joshua ashby :(

My deepest sympathy to Josh's family. I did not know him well but he was a good friend to my nephew Mike. He was very nice, polite & a great person to have as your friend. He is walking the streets in heaven & soaring with the angels. I know a special one that will welcome him for Mikey! May god help you thru this saddened time.

Remember me when I'm gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand, 
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning to stay. Remember me when no more day by day,
You tell me of our future that you planned: 
Only remember me; you understand 
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for awhile 
And afterwords remember, do not greive; 
For if the darkness and corruption leave 
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile  
Than that you should member and be sad.

A Child Loaned
"I'll lend you for a little time
A child of Mine." He said.
"For you to love the while he lives
And mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven year
Or twenty-two or three
But will you, till I call him back
Take care of him for Me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
As solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay
Since all from Earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want the child to learn.
I've looked this wide world over
In my search for teacher's true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you;
Now will you give him all your love,
Nor think the labour vain
Nor hate Me when I come to call
And take him back again?

I fancied that I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, They will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
For the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand."






Brandy, Billy, SeAnna & Family,
I know what a special kid Josh was and it truly breaks my heart that he had to leave you all too soon. I'm sure he is looking down on you now.  I'm so very sorry for your loss. If there is anything I can do, you know how to reach me. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
