Josh graduated from Seminole High School and later earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Wayland Baptist University. He spent 18 years working at Cal Farley's Boys Ranch. His life's calling was helping the young people there find purpose and hope. He had a strong passion for his kiddos, loving and nurturing them. He longed for each to have a bright future.

Josh loved annual Lake City, CO, family trips and enjoyed golf trips with his brother Kaleb and good friends Eric and Lance Sheets. If the Mavericks, Cowboys or Rangers were playing, you can be sure he was texting his Aunt Karrie and both were in team gear. Family was everything to him. His most cherished role in life was that of Daddy to Noah and Avery.
