Joushua is my little brother. He is one of the most amazing people I have ever known. I know he loves his family more than anything in the world. I know he loves his wife and daughters more than life it's self. Joshua is a hard working, "let's do it" person. His presence enriches everyone. He has left his family with a great sadness. Not the kind of sadness where you are just down. A sadness that is unexplainable. I miss him deep. He's 6'3" with arms that stretch like he's 10' tall. A smile that makes everyone, even my Uncle Chuck, smile. He has ideas that makes my Dad make quicker decisions. That's a wonderful thing. He works very hard...he gets it honest. He has some wonderful friends...to have friends, you have to be a friend. To Josh's friends from Columbia City, you guys are awesome! Josh is proud to have you as his friend. As his sister, I want to thank you for helping my Dad and older brother Travis on the farm. You guys are true friends to my brother, and I thank you.
Always a loving memory...
I love you, Josh!
