Joshua developed a family of friends during his time with the Air Force.
Joshua looked forward to the time of year that he could share the sweet taste of Iowa corn with his work family in Shreveport. He enjoyed bowling, golfing and especially betting. He would bet on his games or even the next toss down the aisle or drive down the fairway. He was very competitive and could make anything into a betting game. He had a great sense of humor and enjoyed gaming, joking, and even sharing a taste of a morel mushroom.
Most of all he was a devoted dad to his beautiful daughter, Aris, and took great pride in his family. He loved to help those in need. He at one time had great dreams! We love him and miss him forever. Shared by his mother, Carlene.
