Joshua enjoyed many activities with his family, but some of the most memorable times were the canoe and camping trips. He loved to sit around the campfire in the evening with friends, playing guitar and singing till the sun rose.

Joshua's passion for art, music and classic cars just touch the surface of the Joshua which his family knew so well. His kindness and pure heart touched many who knew him. That characteristic smile and charm, coupled with his sarcastic wit and ironic sense of humor defined an incredibly special young man.
