Greg and Sandy, I’m so very sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine the pain you are going through right now. Words fall short to provide comfort at a time like this. The only thing I know to do is to pray for God to provide you with the comfort only He can give and for His grace and mercy to sustain you and your family in the days that lie ahead. I don’t claim to understand the why behind all of the pain and suffering we endure here on this earth, but I do know you will see your son again in heaven.
May God hold y’all tightly and carry you through this.

Josh, I feel blessed to have met you and your family. You were a sweetheart to me when my mom passed away. Thank you for being a comfort to me and my friends. I will always remember the time I drove your wife and daughter to South Carolina to see you where you were stationed in the Marines, and then I drove you back home to see your family in Arkansas. It is hard for me to grasp this news. You are loved, my friend. Elizabeth

When I heard that you had passed I cried, you were the first person me and my family met when we moved to Vilonia, the day we moved in next door you came right over with a smile and a welcome to the neighborhood. Life had moved us again but when we made it back to Arkansas you were happy to see us again and we even ended up working for the same school district, I will miss seeing you in the mornings for your daily juice and a chat.

Josh, this news has hit me hard. I drove by where they say the accident happened. I was hoping to see evidence or a trace showing that you had been there. I just can’t believe this has happened. You were definitely one of the good guys. Thank you always for being such a wonderful and thoughtful friend to me. You are incredibly missed. Sending prayers of comfort and peace to you and your family.

I didn’t believe this was real the morning I heard it happened. Josh was part of my life for over 20 years and I love him. I will miss him so very much. The memories I have I will always cherish. I was there through so much he went through in his life and he was doing great and I wish his life was not cut so short.
I pray for all the family, I love you all and will never forget Josh because he will always hold a special place in my heart

I looked forward to seeing Josh everyday at work. He would always come in the cafeteria and visit with all of us. We knew on the days he wasn’t there because it was fairly quiet! Haha. He bought fresh chicken eggs from me and really enjoyed showing me all the funny memes from Facebook when the prices of eggs went up for a while. He had such a big heart and truly cared about so many! I didn’t even realize this until I told my oldest daughter the news, that he had built a friendship with her as well. She said he loved picking on her 😊 Josh will be missed by so many and work will not be the same â¤ï¸ I am praying for peace and comfort for the family in this hard time.

Grief is never easy, and the loss of a loved one hurts so deep that we forget to breathe as the tears fall. Our hearts are comforted knowing that Josh is in Heaven and he will forever be watching over everyone he knew and loved. I know he is smiling his biggest smile ever as he proudly wears his new wings.
Forever my Lil Bro
Forever my favorite Marine
