  • It's hard to know where to start when I want to share with people stories about my brother Josh. He had one of those larger-then-life personalities. He was so energetic, always on the move. He could be biting, sharp, sarcastic, his sense of humor was quick and often sarcastic. He had nicknames like 'Combat Kirk' because he was always first out the door and always geared up. The thing I miss most about him is how quiet every family gathering now seems. His death has left us with a quiet reminder of how deeply he is missed, every single day. I love you Josh and I know you are in heaven now with our dad waiting for the rest of the family to join the circle. You passed the ultimate 'Test of Courage' with flying colors....the rest of us can only pray to be so lucky!
