Birth date: Jan 9, 1988 Death date: Sep 3, 2008
Joshua was born 1/9/88 in Tacoma and was tragically taken from us on 9/3/08. He graduated from Mt. Tahoma H.S. in 2006. He attended St. Martin's University and ran X-Country and Track. His passion and loves in life were his friend Read Obituary
I came across this while doing research for a forensics class project. I know it's been over a decade, but I do hope Josh's family is doing well. My prayers are with you all, I am so proud of you and I know he is too. Josh seemed like a beautiful soul, and I am so sorry for your loss. Please know you are loved, even by a stranger like me.
Josh would come into the office and kidd with me daily....I cared about him like a son. We shared many moments over the years. I enjoyed him so very much. I lost my son suddenly when he was 26. He passed away from an enlarged heart. My heart goes out to you. From experience I can truly say I understand what you are going through. The extreme pain you feel right now will lessen with time. I thought the time would never come...but it does. The comfort we have as Christians is that Josh is in heaven and we have God's promise that we will see him again.##imported-begin##Karen Lawson, Principal's Secretary##imported-end##

Dear Gatbunton Family,
I attended Manitou Park elementary school with Josh and had since then run into him from time to time. We never kept in close contact, but all the same, he always smiled at our rare, brief meetings to say hi and inquire after me. It had been at least 3 years since I've last seen him but my fond memories still clearly stay with me, especially my memories of our first grade year. I had transferred to Manitou that year, and he had helped me so much in breaking out of my shell and embracing my new school. My only regret is that I am currently out of the country and thus, was not able to attend his service.
My heart truly goes out to your family at this time. Please forgive me for not offering my condolences earlier.
Sincerely,
Jill Nguyen##imported-begin##Jill Nguyen##imported-end##
