He was self-employed, doing IT work. He was also a part of Team PC of Kendallville that provided computer systems to disabled veterans.

Josh always had a smile on his face and was fun-loving, loyal, humble, and kind. He called his mom, Mama Bear and, as an only child, frequently boasted, "Mom likes me best!"

He was preceded in death by his father on January 31, 2017, and now Josh and his dad are working on trucks together. He was also preceded in death by an uncle, John Pratt.
