It wasn’t until a few people posted asking why I wasn’t writing about Josh in the BME tour trip update. As we’ve been primarily offline, I hadn’t heard or read about what happened. Once a few more posts came in and Nikk sent me links to the two news articles about the alleged murder, I finally understood what had happened. While we try to stay on top of news from around the world, you’ll find when you’re offline and out of the states, it’s not easy to stay connected.
I’ll link you to Shannon’s blog to read more of his thoughts on Josh as I had never met him. He has appeared on Modblog before when Shannon first had his eyes tattooed along with Josh and Pauly, it is sad that the next time we mention him, it’s under these circumstances.
My condolences to those of you that knew Josh and the loved ones that he has left behind. Tanky has asked that you contact her via email for more information if you would like to attend Josh’s memorial service on April 22nd, 2010 in Hamburg, Pennsylvania.
Due to the ongoing investigation, the circumstances mentioned in the article and the fact that Josh left behind loved ones. Please think of them before posting comments in the comment section.

Jillian… I think you must be misunderstanding something. First, Rachel didn’t issue any warnings. What she did was ask that people please think of Josh’s loved ones before they comment, in other words, have respect for them and don’t say mean/shitty things. Are you seriously saying it’s somehow wrong for Rachel to ask people to be respectful for the sake of those that knew and loved Josh?
Secondly, we do let people write what they want. We just hope that people can be decent and realize that this is a real person who left real people behind. Asking people to please think of those Josh left behind and be respectful is hardly issuing a warning and I’m confused as to why you’re upset by that request…
oh geeze there’s a lot of back and forth feelings on this page. all i say is i knew the guy personally. people do dumb things. really dumb things. some dumb things cost you your life. but does it speak to who you are or the GREAT things you HAVE done. i don’t believe so. josh was intelligent, a loyal friend, and a loving fiance/father. everyone would want to be remembered for their great achievements in the end. leave the bad behind.
