I had the pleasure of meeting Josh several times over the years through his association with my son. I am grateful that I got to know him a bit and am sobered by his sudden passing. My sincere condolences go out to all who knew and loved Josh and who mourn this loss. May God be with you and bring you comfort. RIP Josh.

Josh was a neighbor. We briefly talked but would wave "Hello" in passing each other. Such a beautiful soul will be missed here on earth. May Josh find his comfort & peace resting in the all loving arms of our Lord, and Savior, Jesus Christ. My deepest condolences to his family & friends 🙏🕯

I only knew Josh through Facebook, but we would chat quite often. He would ask me about my view on things. I'm going to miss some of those discussions because they would challenge me.  One of the things that I knew about Josh was that he loved the Lord very much.

"If you didn't bring heaven... Raise hell..."  Joshua,I'll never forget that conversation... You told me to use my voice and get loud... I have lots of questions too...we talked about a lot of them ..our questions are the same...if you get a minute,I wouldn't mind you stopping by for a chat...I know you've got the answers now. Remember how we talked about haunting people after death? You can come visit me anytime.... Miss you and your beautiful,faulty heart..

In the short time since I met Josh at “A Better Way” seminar, I read his book and we corresponded through Facebook and other writing. Josh taught me so much about foster care, adoption, toxic religion, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, and his faith. At times I thought, “I could not have survived the life he experienced as a child and teenager.” Yet by the time I met him, he had grown and matured to become a writer, speaker, artist and businessman. He was an inspiration to me and I grieve his passing.
