Josh was born in Charlotte, November 9, 1986 at 1:14 pm, 15 minutes after his twin sister Diana. He had a love for acting and was a true `Thespian`. He attended Devonshire, Hickory Grove and Chantilly elementary schools. He was currently enrolled at Northwest School of the arts, a member of the 8th grade, although he was unable to attend since his diagnosis on September 25th 2000. He loved to rock climb and play paintball. He was unable to complete his Make-A-Wish scheduled for May 26th, but he had planned a paintball shopping spree.

Josh loved to pick and banter with him. He loved to make him laugh. Josh loved to make everyone laugh. He touched so many lives in his short one. He was a true minister with his amazing spirit. He worried about Dr. McMahon being with him and away from his own family late at night more than his hurting body. He knew family was important and loved his. He was a wonderful, loving son to his parents; a playful and exasperating brother to his big brother Matt and his twin sister, Diana.
Josh had a good heart and one of his dreams was to start the homeless ministry `Room At The Inn.` at his church. He strongly felt that we should all do more for the hurting and needy of this world. He felt a loving and caring for all the kids and their families on the oncology pod at CMC and wanted to raise money to improve the rooms there.
