“Last night, we lost an amazing man, father, brother, husband, and son. Josh was always the life of the party and could make anyone laugh. I had the pleasure of being with him for six-plus years. We had so many amazing memories together and brought a beautiful son into the world his laugh and smile were so contagious,” Courtney Fanti wrote.
“He was a very hard-working man, firefighter, veteran, and loved his Jeeps like no other. He always made sure everyone around him was taken care of. I will always make sure everyone knew how amazing of a guy Josh was.”
