  1. I knew josh as a kid and young man. Son of one of my favorite people , Ron Lewis I remember Josh as a friendly and outgoing person who always had great faith. Not only a wonderful salesman but a fair and gentle man. In the last few months he was a teacher of God’s word and his posts on Facebook were a testimony to his understanding of the world around him . His heart was big and full of love for all I am sure he loved his huge family more than words can express. This is a shock not only to his family but to all that knew of him . With the strong faith of his family God will begin the healing process
