Josiah was born with a zest for life. He was waving at people from the shopping cart at 6 months of age. He was a sponge absorbing every bit of knowledge that his family members would share with him. With the help of his great grandmother Jo, he began reading at the age of 3. His 1st babysitter, Lindsey also taught him a song with all of the states listed in alphabetical order. When his sister, Micah, joined the family, he embraced her with great zeal. We thought he might squeeze her to death. Early on Josiah had a way of drawing people together. Josiah developed a scrappy, tough guy facade while playing football and basketball. Since his girlfriend, Baylee Rowton, came into his life, she brought out his gentle, tender side and he began dreaming of a future in New York. Josiah will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him!
