"I did not know him personally, but I could tell Joshua was a beautiful person with a beautiful voice. I found out about his passing while looking to see if he did more music other than his great song with his Uke from the movie Shallow Hal. I wish he had done more music, as I would have bought his albums. RIP Joshua."

"For a mother, the death of a son can cause much sadness. May your heart be filled with fond memories and your pain pass quickly. The comfort lovingly offered by family and friends can be of help, but the comfort God gives is everlasting. May Joshua rest in Paradise!"
