I got a chance to meet Josh a few years ago through his mom, Vivian. When I first met him, I told him he looked like he should be in magazines. He laughed out loud and with the biggest smile said thank you. From that day forward every time I saw him he always waived and or said hi with that beautiful smile. Even though I did not know him personally, he was an amazing spirit, full of life. I will never forget that smile. You will be missed!!!

Vivian, Katy & Mike, We were devastated hearing of Joshua's passing. It was too soon. We may not know what God's plan ever is, but you were blessed to have Joshua in your lives. When Joshua was young, he certainly did light up the room with his smile, laughter & humor. We have many memories. We pray for your continued healing. Know God has him in His hands, protecting him. May you also lean on God for his strength during this time and always. We are so sorry for your loss.

Vivian and Katie,
Although I did not know Josh too long, I knew he was special. We met a couple of times and shared a few words. He was always polite and considerate. I will miss his sweet smile. I remember his love of football and coaching the young kids. Josh always tried hard at what he did. May Josh find peace. God bless his family.
