From a blog -

I still can't believe you're gone. It seems like just yesterday that you were here, in my backyard, just living your life. I never thought we'd lose you, I truly didn't. You really were like superman, you had a way in & out of everything. We've had so many good times together. Breaking into welland high, you literally carrying me over your shoulder home from the mall, getting drunk in the cemetery, you're aunt catching me & Jasmine & Tonya drinking, so she made stay at your house & she called our parents lmao & you had alarms, so you kept setting them & trying to get me & Jasmine out but your aunt just kept catching us hahaha. & When you wanted to come to the fair so bad, but you needed a parent there, so we got my brother to call your mom & pretend to be my dad, lmao. But the one that stands out the most, is when you came online at 2AM, & was like "hey jas, Im comin over." & You came over & we sat on my porch for like 3 hours, just getting baked. Last time I seen you, you kept telling me that it was the highest you've ever been hahaha. You also said that you wanted to do it again, & that you missed me.. Well now I miss you. So many things around me, remind me of you. And as the days go on, Im slowly realizing how different life is without you. There's no more of you coming online, asking me to chill, reminding me that I was too good for people, telling me that you'd always be there. You left so much behind, I don't think you realized. So many people in this city were you're family, so many people in this city have been touched by you. As troubled as people may have thought you were, in our minds, you were so amazing, you were so strong. Always in & out of trouble, but always made it through - I wish you could've made it out of this one. But still, you were so strong, a brave, and couragious person. You lived everyday like it were you last, & I believe you don't have any regrets. I'll never forget you Joshy, I'll never let myself forget the boy who carried me over his shoulder, just to keep me safe. I love & miss you so much.
