Along with his family, he leaves numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and many lifelong friends who will truly miss the wonderful man Josh was. He was the kind of man who enjoyed time with his family, friends, and being outdoors; one who would help another in need. He was the kind of man who could spend silly time with his daughters, liven up any gathering with his wonderful laugh and still spend a quiet afternoon in the saddle with just his horse and the land. He was the kind of man who expressed himself through his guitar and poignant voice. Josh is the kind of man who will never be forgotten and always loved. Services will be held at the Ritzville Amphitheater at 11:00 A.M on Friday, June 8th with interment at the Ritzville Memorial Cemetery. A Celebration of Life will follow at Ritzville Grange.
