“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; Love leaves a memory no one can steal.”
Rest In Peace
My heart breaks for you my friend. I’ve been remembering Joshua as a little boy. What a cutie. I was so saddened when I first heard of his illness. I watched his blogs and admired his courage. He was articulate, funny and quick witted; yet unabashed to show real emotion of the hurdles he had to face.
I have journaled his words from January: “Despite all of this, I’m going to stay positive and fight like I always have. I’m not going to let cancer be the end of me.”
This is not his end… Go rest high Sweet, Beautiful Joshua.
To my dear Sanya, although we’ve been separated by miles and years, I continue to love and call you friend.
I wish I had the words to comfort you but found myself at a loss; seeking instead promises from the bible. I love you. From my heart to yours….
Revelation 21:4
Psalm 23:4
1 Corinthians 15:51-52;57
John 14:1-4
Psalm 73:26
and in closing….Matthew 5:4 ❤️
Josh, you were a true professional, and I will greatly miss your unique style of life and outlook. I’ll never forget your singing of Paradise City, and impersonation of Negan!
Rest in Peace. You are greatly missed.

He will be missed so much.
Josh always came in to work ready to take on the day. Very easy going and always had a great attitude. Most that were close to him knew he loved to ride and travel. He will be missed by his CAT family.
Josh was always such a pleasant and kind person in school. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
When I met Josh. He was this 19 year old hot head at Caterpillar. We eventually became a close friends and Team Leads. We worked, joked, laughed, gave each other advice. And so on. He had a bike and one day I was like, you rode that in allllll this rain?” (All the while shaking my head because I was trying to figure out what idiot would do that lol) Low and behold it was Josh!!! Ghost Rider…. I’ll keep those cherished memories forever. He was truly a kind, genuine person that became much more than a co worker. That was my buddy.
My condolences to Josh’s family. This was shocking to hear, very mannerable young man. Praying for your family and close friends.
