I’ve know Josh since he was a young boy. I have pictures of him and my kids riding rides at an amusement park. He grew up to be a fine young man. My condolences to the family, Lori I know your heartache. I’m here if you ever wanna talk.

Josh was my first officer I hired when I took over as Cheif in Chesapeake he was a outstanding officer making rank of SGT fast with his dedication and compassion for the job he loved being a husband and father that was his world . I will miss his smile and that look he gave when he knew something was not just adding up . Love you and your family

I attended the Academy with Josh. I had not seen him for 15 or so years until one day. I saw him on patrol inside sheets in Kanawha city. We got to catch up briefly over a cup of coffee. It was really good to see him again and doing something that he appeared to love. He was always a good dude. He was always down to earth in a place where it’s hard to be. I don’t know what to say other than he was a good dude and it’s upsetting that he is gone too soon. God bless his children and family.
