Thanks to everyone for the kind words, thoughts, and prayers. It's always amazing to see this type of love from complete strangers.

I use to work with Josh out in Williston, ND. and when I first met him a little over 2 years ago and his brother Brenden, we would drool over pictures of raptors daily talking about what color we were going to get and what mods we would install with all of our newly earned "oilmney" It wasn't long until I ordered mine ('12) and finally got it, I remember Josh would be standing by the break room looking into the parking lot gazing at my truck for what seemed like half the day calling me names out of spite and I kept reassuring him one day he will have his own to look at. Finally the day came when he got his truck and I was gawking at his ('13) truck with rims, tires, and an exhaust as I didn't have any of that, that's when I finally got to call him a name haha. He was so excited to come on his first raptor run (snoball '14) and finally become a real raptor owner. I got him to buy a radio, some lights, and thinking about a bed rack so he would be ready to partake in what will be an absolutely amazing off-road adventure with the good guys and gals of GLRE. Josh will be greatly missed by many friends and his family, I will always remember him as my "oil money bitch" "#peasant" raptor brother.

I know he'll be riding shotgun with me every time I get in my truck, telling me as he did one time, "You're in a raptor, roads don't apply to you."

Josh was only 21 and he died of unknown complications during the night. CPR was being done but the paramedics were too late.

This sucks, At 21 you are only beginning to see the world differently and truly setting yourself up to make a run at an amazing life.
RIP young man,,
