No matter how challenging life was for Josh, He was always searching for positives and building friends up and encouraging others.
His frends agreed on things which Josh would pass on to the wider CC community:
4 years ago I met Josh. Josh and I had a lot in common, both of us had struggled to feel like we found a group in life we could walk with. CK had more reason to feel that way than I due to his condition. But goodness gracious he was always searching for positives and building me up and encouraging me.
2 years ago he and I began weekly/bi-weekly phone calls as accountability partners and talked, cried and prayed together.
2 days ago, he told me he was ready for the suffering to end and to meet his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
24 hours ago, I lost one of the most recently influential people I have ever known in my life. You don't have to do crazy things to be influential.
You don't have to have a world stage to make big changes.
You don't have to be perfect to be good.
You don't have to be good, to help others.
You don't have to lack suffering, to hobble along with others.
You don't have to pretend everything is fine, to still experience joy.
Sometimes life is weird. I've never gotten to shake his hand or hug him. I've never gotten to meet him face-to-face on camera. Don't doubt the influence each moment you spend can have. Look for joy, cry with those around you, remember its okay to not fit in, be normal or process things like everyone else.
Goodbye, Josh - I'll never forget you, or who you helped me be..-Swimmerdude99
CaronylKluster - a better friend could not be found, someone who was an inspiration to those who knew him. One who was active in leadership and shared pieces of himself with no expectation of something in return. -IcePack
My life will be missing something for a long time to come. RIP buddy, we miss you already. -Swimmerdude99

Josh, you were a great example to me and everyone of kindness and inner strength. Your focus was never on yourself. -Denise
