  11. I had the pleasure of working with Josh (and his brother) at Calabash West many years ago. Josh was the sweetest boy in the world. He was quiet and cool and I absolutely loved to see him smile that shy smile of his. He was the ‘best bus boy out of the whole dang bunch’ because he worked hard and never, ever complained. I looked forward to shifts with him. And he was one of a handful of people I’ve genuinely missed since leaving that job so long ago.
    Josh’s parents, siblings, wife, and other loved ones are in my prayers. I cannot imagine the incredible pain of such a loss. God bless and keep you all.
