Josh, you always had a way of making my days at school better. I love you and your wife dearly. I'll always remember the laughs and fun times we shared. Watch over those precious babies and your wife. They're going to need you. Love you Josh. RIP

Everybody keeps telling me to stay strong, for everyone else's sake. Truth is...I just can't do it, everything reminds me of him. I remember all the memories I had with him growing up the good and the bad! We fought just like every other brother and sister in the world, but we always loved each other and were there for each other. I wish now that I could've been a little closer with him than what I was, but he was a great brother! He always stood up for me and was there for me...even when I didn't deserve it. We were mean to each other, we teamed up and was mean to Zackary Hankins, probably more than we should have. But I wouldn't take any of it back for the world. Everyone keeps saying if I need anything let them know....what I need is my brother, and I know that isn't possible...I miss him so much and I just want him back.....

the world lost a good man husband and father gone too soon. Prayers are with his entire family in this dark and trying time in their life.

Great friend. Had a few classes with him amd hung out with him at lunch. I really wish we could have hung out more. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. My he rest easy in he hands of the lord. We lost a great husband, brother, son, ect. But god has gained another guardian angel. He was loyal and i believe that even in death he will still be loyal and do what he can to oversee and protect his family. The josh I knew never gave up something he loved. He valued family highly so I know he is watching. My favorite memory of him was in Mr. Payne's math class. We used to annoy this girl that sat behind me and she wanted to hit him so badly then she ended up dating him. It was priceless. Ill always have those memories of us walking in the halls and of us hanging at lunch. Rest easy man. Your home and well taken care of. God has the best angel he could ever ask for.

Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

U r all in our prayers.
