I found out 2 days ago that my good friend Josh shot himself. He paddled out on his surfboard with his .45. Josh had gotten into a bad car accident which forced him to stop doing the things he loved the mist, including his obsession surfing.
I have never had someone that I was this close to died let alone commit suicide. It sucks so bad that the last time i briefly saw him was at warped tour and the last time I got to see him was a very brief convosation on the phone, and I couldn't talk at the time. I really wish i would of just got up and went to go talk to him.
Josh by far was one of the greatest people I have ever met in my life. It hurts me so much that i never got to really tell him that. Or tell him how much I loved him. He had innappropreate jokes that I lived for and no matter where we went out to dinner, gas stations, or just hanging out at his house, he would make it well aware to everyone around us that I was was the biggest whore he knew. He always brought the funtimes wheather or not i was embrassed or not.
I will miss you Josh more than you know, and I really wish i could make that more noticable to you. I love you and i hope you are riding big waves up there sweetie <3
TO ALL OF THE LIVES TOUCHED BY JOSH: We are in dire need of funds to help is family with the cost incurred by his death. We will be trying to plan a cost-efficient memorial service at a park of some kind followed by a paddle out with his ashes at another location. However, already the cost of cremation and to get the truck out of impound alone are just over $1000. We really need help. ANY money you can give is acceptable and greatly appreciated. Please contact me to arrange a donation. Let's try our best to remember not how he died, but celebrate the way he lived.
Thank you.
