Our family had been using Josh as a family attorney since 2007 , was always there when you need him and was one of the most generous persons you could ever know , and also got the job done if the man said don´t worry I got this rest assured he had your back. I talked to him last in 2021 and he was slowing down but told us if you need me call me and joked we were an awesome client . I just found out he has me passed truly upsetting he will be missed by so so many. God Bless you and your family my friend was a honor to know you.

I am saddened to now finding out of your passing. I have known Josh through a mutual friend from Pitt State. Josh has always been a very happy, energetic, honest, and laughed a lot. We did build a real close relationship and he did represent me in a case in 2010. He definitely made a huge stamp in my life. He saved me on a big case. We always spoke and talked sports. This definitely hurts. I wish I would of known. To show my respects. I wish the best for your family and you rest well my friend!

Wow.. Josh was a great attorney. I'm saddened to just now hear about this. So candid and charismatic. Just a great overall person. May he rest in peace.

I hired Josh 13+ years ago and he continued to be our family attorney all the way up until Dec 22, 2022 when he was the most significant person in helping my daughter not be charged (at all) in a very bad domestic violence case. He didn´t really want more cases, told me he was backing off but he would not leave me and her in this desperate state. He was paramount-in his relationships, connections, respect in the community along with it his expertise, that made him successful and a much sought after attorney. I know he helped a lot of young people that were going through a lot. I am so sorry it may have been at the expense of his family. My deepest condolences and continued prayers for peace and healing to his children and wife. I am very grateful for his role in my and my children´s lives. With sympathy, Denise

So very sorry to hear this. Josh was my lawyer since not long after he started his practice. Tried, trusted, and true to his word, qualities hard to find in that profession. He will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to his wife and children. I know his love for them ran deeply. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.

Oh Josh, I just heard about your passing. You just were with me at court not too long ago. You´ve always been my go to attorney and were always a friend. I never imagined 15 years later from the first time we met, that you would be gone so soon. We were always good at giving each other a hard time. You made me mad sometimes but we always laughed about it in the end. I´m honestly going to miss you and our little one ones we had. Prayers to you and your children. I know you loved them dearly.
Sincerely, Lauren Freeman

Josh was the prosecutor in Shawnee when I was the Municipal Judge. I always admired his skills in the courtroom and his subtle wit. His love for his family was obvious to me. I am so sorry for your loss.

Many years ago when I worked in the WYCO District Attorneys office, Josh worked there. I remember him being such a nice man with a wonderful smile. He was always helpful and always had a kind word. My sympathy to his family and friends. He was a great guy.

My heart is aching for Kate and her family and Josh´s family. Kate was instrumental at CMH to support the fundraiser of sales of the WillowTree Heart Of Gold figurine for CMH and later helped our friends establish an endowment in our son´s memory. Her mom, Cathy, was like a kindred sister and her grandmother, Jean Schultz was my exemplary SSW boss at KCKPS. I´ve know of Kate all her life. I know Josh must have been one of those " 1 in a million" in his many roles. As the time pass, and as you all return to a different way of living , may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support from all of us.

Josh was a great attorney. More importantly he was a great person. Him being gone this soon makes the times we dealt with him that much more significant and memorable. His legacy will live on through his wonderful children. He was a kind and caring human being. If you met him for just one minute you won't forget him.

I have been retired and out of the area for over 4 years. I met Josh when he first got here. His work product was exemplary, but more importantly, I valued his friendship. His passing is a deep loss to all. My heartfelt sympathy and condolence upon your loss of a loving husband and father.

Josh was my Attorney. A very fine man he was. Family oriented and caring for others. I had a call with him and his boy needed him he politely put me on hold and addressed him. It showed how he would put family first and in that helped me trust him and his decisions for my case. My condolences for your family.
