    So many memories of Josh in elementary school! I think Josh and Jay Hayse were best buddies, maybe even "blood brothers." He was always smiling and laughing back then. My condolences to his family. He left this world way too soon. I hope you all can find peace and comfort in the sadness. I hope he's reunited with Larry Bell, another one of our classmates who passed too soon. I'll always remember our Dollens Elementary days; such special memories to me. May Josh rest in peace.

    I just found out about Josh's passing. It has been nothing but a flood of memories since. I was lucky enough to grow up with Josh. He would come over to my dads house nearly every weekend for a couple years. We learned to play instruments together. Josh was a talented musician but the one thing I will forever be truly envious of is his seemingly effortless ability to write a very good original song. Every weekend he would show up at dads and play about 4 completed songs for me that he wrote during the week, each one better than the last. I regret that after school hanging out every weekend became running into each other in a store and catching up a couple times a year. I guess life happend everyone went on to jobs and starting families and fell out of touch. I can honestly say that anytime I think back or talk about my life when I was middle or highschool age, nearly every memory or story is a very fond one and Josh is almost always one of the main characters.I am unbelievably sorry for his family and I will truly miss him.

    Too many memories to just post one, and I've thought of them all the last few days. It all seems surreal. I hope you have finally found your peace. You will be missed. I love you and so does Emicka. I hope your afterlife gives you happiness. Maybe one day we'll see each other again. Rock In Peace.

    When I lived in Bedford, I met Josh at the bowling alley. We talked and bowled for a few hours. Eventually started jamming out at a friends house. Wish I could’ve spent more time with him. Rest easy my man. You will be missed

    I live on O St & Josh would walk by often. He bought my son Issac & I drinks one day and Reese for Issac. We talked and he was doing a rubix cube w Issac. Issac has been obsessed w Rubix cube since. Another memory is issac and I going on walks and we hear someone playing guitar down by the first Baptist church , turns out it was Josh…

    I remember growing up through school, Josh and April. Josh was such a sweetheart. Always loved to joke around. He blossomed into such a great young man. He loved music and he loved his kids. Josh will be missed by so many people but he will forever live on in our hearts. Sending lots of love and prayers to April and the family.
