Josh has always had a special place in my heart and I will miss him so much. Loved ones will suffer much through this tragedy, but by God's grace each one will have a closer walk with the Lord. May God bless you and keep you and smile His face upon you. My love to all, Mamie

Our hearts go out to the Phillips family as we lift you in prayers. We remember Josh as an energetic young man ready to take on the world. We will continue to pray for your comfort and acceptance as often as we think of you. With much love and fondness, Doug and Karen Sumerauer
Josh!!!!! You will be terribly missed, but it gives us some peace knowing that you are in the Lord's hands and in his presence. Please give us strength and guidance to get through this, although we are aware that you are all around us in spirit and your soul lives in each one that you met with your contageous smile and polite words. T says "what's up man?" Take care and see you in Paradise :-)
Josh - You were such a wonderful, kind friend. Always positive and adventurous, you were up for anything! You are present in so many of my happiest high school memories. Prom was the best, though. I remember feeling so confident and happy that night — I had the best date there! Josh, you will be terribly missed. I hope we meet again and share some more laughs. Love you, buddy.
May the hearts and souls of the family find peace and comfort.
I only knew Josh for a few months but he left a lasting impression myself and others who met him at the food bank. We will treasure the memories.
Josh and I have been friends since we were young boys growing up in Silvermill. Even though we went our separate ways, we always remained friends and understood each other. I pray for Josh and his family, especially his mother who has been through so much and tried her hardest to protect and help Josh. Sometimes we cannot explain why things happen the way they do, but perhaps Josh is in a better place now and may he rest in peace. You will be missed, Josh.
I remember Josh as being a very sweet young man. He had a contagious smile and was always a pleasure to be around.
Our prayers go out to his family during this sad time. Our hearts are breaking right along with yours. May God give you all peace during the days, weeks, months,and years ahead to know when a Child of God leaves this earth, our seperation from them is only temporary. We Love You All and want you to know we'll be praying for you!!! Please call us if we can ever help you in any way.
We shall always remember the little boy who loved our beaches and whose smile took up his whole face. Mark, Kathleen, Heather, Seth, and Nathan, while we can not be there physically our hearts and prayers are with you now and always. While all of our hearts are breaking now, we will trust that the Lord knows what he is doing and wait patiently to meet Josh again in a far better place.
We will always remember Josh as a good fun kid playing in the yard in the summertime. We always thought he was special.
Oh my sweet Joshie......I love you and miss you so much. You will live in my heart forever. Don't know how we will move forward without you. My heart is broken. Aunt BB
I was deeply saddened and heart broken to hear about Josh. I am Ms Warren from Peden. Josh had shared his hopes and goals with me and I tried to be an encourager in his life. He was an guy full of life with great ambition and intelligence. There are no words to express how sorry I am for this loss. I was taken aback to hear this. May God give you all the peace that passes all understanding and know that I will be praying for his family as they try to cope with such a loss. God Bless and keep you all. Sincerely Ms Warren
