Sorry for your loss. Soon dearth will be no more. John 5:28

May your talents be etched in the hearts of many, your untimely departure was not your plan, may god bless you and wrap your family with peace and comfort during this difficult time. My pleasure in seeing your talents first hand, RIP Josh.

Thoughts and Prayers for peace and comfort during this difficult time. Josh will be missed, he never met a stranger and was so kind to everyone.

All our love and prayers from "The Matson Girl's" :
Necie Matson Harry, 
Deanna Matson Price, 
Amy Matson Bassett 
and Fred Matson. We loved Josh a lot and grew up having a blast! You just don't meet many good 'ole boys like him and he will forever be in our hearts and our thoughts! 
With all our love once again, 
The Matson Girls

The times we've shared have been full of joy.
The memories we've made will go on and on.
We haven't stopped crying since you went away,
and we've asked God time and time why couldn't you stay.
You've lit up everyone's life, everyone's hopes, and everyone's dreams.
You've opened everyone's eyes to see what it all means.
So now that you're gone how can we forget;
Because you were the greatest out of all we have met.

Rip Josh and please sing for my mom in heaven and give her one of your big hugs. Until we meet again...

Jackie, I am so sorry for your loss. Please know you and your family will be in my prayers.

Words cannot express the shock and sadness. - Art Northrup, Jr. (Charlotte, NC)

Such a tragedy and taken way to soon. Your God given talent will surely be missed. May you sing with the angels and rest in peace.

Jackie so sorry for your lost,I know that your boys were your world. Praying for you and your family

My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this horrible time. Josh was such a dear friend to me. He was really there for me and my son when we were going through a tough time. Not only that, but he helped me so much with music, and was inspiring to me. I will never be able to take this hurt away from you and your family. But just know, if I could.. I would. Josh had such a beautiful heart and soul, and it shown through with every smile.  Thank you for raising such a beautiful human being. I'll thank God every day for allowing me to meet him. Prayers and thoughts.

Jackie, I am so sorry to hear about Josh. It is a sad thing to hear of a parent loosing a child. I don't know how that is but I can imagine the unbearable pain. I will be praying for you and you can bet he is singing to Billy Jack and thanking God for the talent he gave him.
Love and prayers to you in these days of grief.

Sing with the Angels, rest peacefully my friend

My you be comforted by the Great Comforter who is able to give you peace in your time of great sorrow. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot Heal.

Jackie. Jeremiah, Frances, So sorry to hear about Josh it has been many years since I saw him, I remember him when he was small staying with granny Burton.
To let you know I am praying for all of you for strength during this time Love you, Uncle Archie Missionary to the Republic of Moldova

Josh, even tho I'd known you for what seemed like forever, we had just connected a few short weeks ago when I accepted a friend request..from a friend. I had just begun to enjoy seeing your name pop up in my inbox when I was up late. You always had nice things to say. But the one thing you ALWAYS said to me as we were saying goodnight..I will remember forever: "I hope you sleep with Angels!!" My comfort now is knowing that you are. You will be greatly missed my friend.

I am so sorry for your loss. If I can help in any way please let me know

My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Josh Bearden. I remember his can-do attitude and happy disposition in art in elementary at Comer. The world is a sadder place without your cheerfulness and sweet spirit here on this earth, but oh, what a contribution you will make to that Heavenly Band! We miss you!

My sweet friend it doesn't seem real. Sing with the angels now josh.

You've landed that final gig my friend. You will be missed! Play on!

Such a great friend and listener. You will be missed!

I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers.

The world is going to miss your sweet, smiling and kind soul. Truly happy to have known you and had the chance to hear your talented voice and self. Prayers for your family at this time.

I have known Josh since he was born and this is a sad day. My family and I wish prayers and peace for the family whom have been long time friends. I wish I could come to the funeral but I live out of state and due to prior commitments we can not attend.

I am so glad to have had the opportunity to work at Honda with Josh And get to know him, but more so to be able to call him my friend. You were taken from this life to soon but you are now in the arms of the Heavenly Father. As you are looking down I know you are smiling at the tremendous outpouring of love from all the friends you have. Fly high on your angel wings my friend you will never be forgotten.

You were a bright light in all the lives you touched. May you rest in peace and peace be with your loved ones

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

You will always be remembered and loved so much! You were always a JOY to be around! Love you Josh!

I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOST.I didn't know Josh but i am so sad this had to happen to this nice looking young guy.But Josh fly high & play your music in the sky.

It still doesn't seem real feels like a bad dream and I'm not ready to wake up from yet  can still see you smiling laughing and hear you playing around with the music and cutting up with everyone like always

This just does not seem real at all.  Josh was simply one of the nicest, most down to earth,  good hearted, people that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.  He had a heart of gold and a smile that I will never forget!!! His musical talent was nothing short of remarkable. I will never understand why the good ones are taken from us so soon but he will always be remembered by all that knew him, I sure wish I would have gotten to see him more. Fly high and sing to the angels One man band until we meet again.

Wow is all I can say loved by so many still can't believe your gone my mom always loved u josh so play her a song in heaven! Fly high

I will forever remember the fun times,  happy demeanor and most of the music that Josh gave to us all. Truly gone too soon.  I am praying for the family and wish I could attend but work and travel commitments won't allow.

Josh was one of the first people I met when I moved to Marble Valley 20 years ago.  He had a smile on his face and made me feel welcome,  He has been like a son to me ever since, The world lost a wonderful person and a true friend to all that knew him. I am Praying for all and for Jackie His Mom, He is Playing his Music and watching over You.  May God Bless

Fly high my friend. You will be greatly missed. Prayers for the family and friends as well.

One of the best friends anyone could ever ask for, he never turned away from anyone in need and was always there with a smile or a shoulder if you needed that...Love you Josh, Ziggy

Josh was an amazing man with a God given talent for music and to make others smile ... Prayers for the family at this most difficult time ... Sing with the angels

Praying for the family and friends.  I so enjoyed listening to the "One Man Band".  Fly high my friend!  You will be missed!

I still can't believe this is actually real. My heart is so heavy for all his family and friends. I have so many memories that I will cherish. I can still hear him laugh, I still see your smile and all those funny facial expressions you would make. You will forever be apart of my life. You will be truly missed.... until we meet again my friend, I love you.

The very first time I met Josh - he hugged me - didn't shake my hand or say nice to meet you - he hugged me.  That's the kind of person Josh Bearden was.  The world has lost one of it's finest ---much too soon!!!  RIP my friend.

The world lost a beautiful person sing with the angels my friend...

So sorry for the loss of Josh and I will always pray for the family and friends of Josh. He was the nicest guy I have ever met and had a smile that could light up a room. I will always remember you Josh.
Until we meet again my friend.

I was so shocked and sad to hear of Josh's passing. He was certainly taken too soon. Keeping his family and multitude of friends in my thoughts and prayers through this difficult time and the times ahead.
