Oh Dear Josh~

On this anniversary we remember you; honor you and love you! Your smile and laughter is forever with us all. God smiles on having you in some far greater place then we know and you are experiencing life on a new level.

We love you so much and miss you every day! I assume Eileen is there with you too my friend she thought you were the cutest ever!

Mark, Cory, Eileen and Gigi!

Josh’s light illuminated so bright.  He is unforgettable.

I always loved to see and make Josh laugh.  He had a childlike quality that I always felt very drawn to.  His  welcoming and positive energy will live in our hearts and memories forever.  Here we are pictured at my birthday party in 2013.  Our birthdays fall exactly a week apart so we would often celebrate together.  Rest well, my friend.

Josh you had such a major impact on everyone here in LA and Palm Springs. Your energy and sense of humor was so much fun to be around. I have so many great memories hanging out at Greg & Roger's house and at Mark and Corey's across the street. When you weren't around people would always ask when you were coming over because it wasn't the same without you. Now that you're gone I don't think things will ever be the same without you, but your energy will live on in all of us. Thank you for being you.

Joshua thank you for coming into my life. You were the most genuine  loving friend anyone could ask for. You were always willing to be a listening ear when I needed one.  I will forever remember the amazing fun times we spent together.. The years we worked together were some of my best memories. I will always remember spending that time clowning around, making jokes and supporting each other when Greg would get mad at us for having fun !  I remember the fun nights out and our fun nights in staying up late listening to music and trying to perform our best dance versions of all the pop divas we were listening to. God took you to soon but I know he was ready for you to come home. I will miss you very much , but I hope you and Greg are having fun together. I’ll see you on the other side, until then I will keep you in my memory and in my heart. I love you Joshua ❤️ ❤️❤️

This is when Josh & friends organized a surprise Bday party back in 2011. Thank you so much friend!

This was taken at a club as we were waiting to meet Lil’ Kim at a club in Oakland CA.

This is from our trip to San Diego for the weekend with a group of friends back in 2010

Silverlake will forever hold a lot of memories for us as it is where we made a ton of them while being roommates.
