I had the pleasure to work with Josh for several years. He always went out of his way to help me and others due to his care and compassion for his fellow employees. He has been missed since he left the bank. My thoughts and prayers to the family. May his memory be eternal. God Bless.
I am so deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Josh. Josh was a very respectful, kind and just an overall nice person. My condolences goes out to his dear family and friends. At such a difficult time words may fail to capture how you feel at the loss of your dear loved one. May God bring comfort to his family and friends not only now but as you cope in the days ahead.
Dear Ann, Guy, Meghan, and Emily,
Please accept my sincere, prayerful support at this most difficult time. Josh has always been such a fine young man. You must be very proud of him. May the strength of God's presence be with all of you now and always.
I have a lot of memories of us in Akron as RAs. That first year we were inseparable. I’ll always cherish you and our group of friends. My prayers for your family.
My favorite memory of Josh is when he came out with Grandma Roach to Spokane to spend a few weeks while my parents were away for what I believe was the summer of my 6th-grade year in school. Being out here in Washington and so far away from the rest of the family his coming meant the world to me, so to prep for his arrival I went out of my way to pick the nicest and cleanest crossing guard uniform with the big silver captain badge to impress him when he and Grandma walked to my elementary school that day. He wasn't impressed, but that hug was sure genuine.
We spent the rest of that time going on walks at abandoned farmhouses and hunting for natural springs, teaming up to avoid Grandma when she was waving the broom around at us for tracking dirt in and laughing.
Each time I saw him after at a family event or wedding, it felt like we were kids again. There was his gentle thoughtfulness and his wit. My heart is with you all.
You know, he was the best. From the first moment I met Josh, I admired him. His dedication, his strive to learn and teach others, his kindness, his compassion. He was, and IS the best. I'm blessed to have been considered his friend. I'm sorry you've left us, Josh. It's....I'd like to say one thing but I won't do that here....bologna that you had to leave us this soon. A good human being taken too soon. I'll miss you so much. <3

Joshua, Emi & I miss you so much sweetie. Our minds still talk to you. Our hearts still look for you. But our souls know you are at peace.
Love~Minx, Kiddo and Mouse
