Was very fortunate to serve with Josh. He was a beast in the gym and his presence was felt when he entered a room. He was a great Soldier, NCO, and man. Please accept my condolences for your loss, and thank you for raising a fine young man that we may have only shared a few moments with, but left an eternal light in our hearts with his smile and laughter.

Dear Little Family - I'm so sorry for your loss. I cannot express to you the sadness John and I are feeling for your family. The struggle is real for military families who want to help their sons, daughters, wives, and husbands through things they cannot unsee while serving. Josh will be remembered by us for his sweetness to others (even when he didn't know you), bravery, and his adorable eye smiles and brows.. Fondly, Paula (Osmanski) & John Gallagher

CandleDear Little Family,
You have my deepest condolences. Words cant come close to describe how absolutely heartbroken I was when I found out about his passing. This is such a tremendous loss. Josh has been in and off of my life for the past 4-5 years. I still remember our first date like it was yesterday. He was such a beautiful soul. He brought such light and hope into my life even through he was troubled himself. I tried to guide him and lift him up. I wanted to spend my life with him. However, God had other plans. Even though we didn't end on the best of terms (I wish we had), I will always remember him fondly. I will remember him for his kind heart, his beautiful soul, his lively spirit, and his generosity. His smile was capable of lighting up the world. I know that because it surely lit up mine. I can only hope that his soul has finally found peace. Rest easy now sweetheart. I love you, Josh.

J Juan Gomez on Jun 17, 2020

My condolences, respects and prayers go out to the family. Josh was always a great guy and always had a smile. I remember one time Advance Individual Training (AIT) in Arizona, after a few weeks arriving from basic training he really wanted a haircut so I had told him that I “knew” how to cut hair. He let me and I messed it all up, and to my surprise, he was so nice about it. I knew he cared but he just made jokes about it and we did the best we could with it. That memory had always stuck with me because of how funny it was. May your family and friends find strength in these trying times. Rest In Peace brother! - Gomez
