Also remembered by many loving family and friends. Josh had a passion for all things basketball, especially his sneaker collection including his Jordans and his Polo clothes. He was a straight-A student, with a bright future, who was looking forward to attending an Ivy League College.

He always had a perseverance to achieve his goals, no matter how hard he to work to get them. Josh’s mantra in life was to “Always Be Perfect.” Even when told nobody was perfect, his response was “I can always strive for perfection.”
