I met Josh in 2004-2005 time frame. We were pretty much inseparable for a long time.  From Del Mar to Long Beach we ran up and down every night to a different party, bar or place. I remember going to  his family house. It was him, Greedy, Maurice, and me. We were sitting outside in a broke down Cadillac I think. We were sitting outside talking shit and drinking 40s, Maurice was freestyling and Josh always cracking up and laughing about something he found funny. He was great at talking to the ladies too. He had a sincere strong charismatic warmth about him. Everyone was family. He was the only white boy I know that could get away with saying "my nigga"

I used to give Josh a hard time about how he had a bromance with Natas (brother from another mother), he would always laugh, smile and give out true hugs...that was his essence, spreading love, smiles and I will always remember how patience he was teaching kids anything. He taught my niece how to crawl, it was funny seeing him showing her the steps, he play basketball with the kids and give them pointers for improvement. We could go on talking for hours about RPGs especially Final Fantasy series, he was just that guy who was down to earth real...Josh you will live on through our memories, till we meet again brother.

RIP Josh

When Josh was a little boy oh about 10years old, I came to get him to spend the night with me. we had a really good time just being silly. The next morning I said Josh i have a suprize for you , I am taking you to Summer Waves Water Park today.
He looked at me and said only me I said yes , he said so sadly my brothers can't come. I told him it was his special day. He looked at me and said it's not fair for you to take only me, and I want to go home iof they can't come too. I thought how sweet is that so I went and got his brothers the ones that were home. we had a great time. Josh could be so sweet and loving, he really love his brothers.

I met Jessica while working at hte and we quickly became friends. Soon after, we became very close to each other,Jessica, Roca, Cecilia and I began to hangout outside of work on a regualr basis, we called each other the 5 o'clcok crew because we all left work at the same time, which was the main reason we met each other. We spent time at Jessica's house very often, so naturally we got to meet Josh who also became close to the group. At first Josh gave the impression of being very serious and sometimes a little itimidating, but soon we all realized that he was nothing but a big teddy bear ! We went on road trips together, I remember the time we all went to Long Beach just to get some Roscoe's ! And the many times, Roca and Josh would clown on each other, always competing on who was the best basketball player. The thing I remember the most about Josh is how much he loved Jessica, the day they became husband and wife he couldn't get his eyes of her, he was really the happiest guy alive...Josh will be truly missed by everyone who got the chance to meet him, may he rest in peace.

Josh volunteered to be Santa in December 2014. He brought countless smiles to kids faces.
