Josh will be dearly missed by all those who knew him.

I am so sad to hear of Josh’s passing. We were best of friends during the early school years. He would ride his bike to my house almost everyday. He would stay and eat dinner, we would go to church together. He was just the best friend a girl could have. Like a brother really. As we got older our lives took different paths. But I will never forget my childhood friend. I will be praying for his family and sweet children during this difficult time.
Prayers lifted for Hodge famlies.
So much to say I dont even know where to begin. You were more like a brother than a cousin always with some work when work got slow. Ill never forget you helping move that piano. Almost didnt think we were gonna get it. I remember the mechanic towing always there when you need em Josh . The world definetely lost a good worker. He will be missed.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I remember Josh as a little boy from church, always laughing and full of joy. I looked forward to his hugs every service. You all are in my prayers.
I love you, Josh. Wish I could hear you say, I love you, Aunt Sybil, call me if you need me. Just once more. And your arm around my back. Rest in peace.
