We lost our Josh in a fatal car crash.

On the 27th of September, our Josh crashed his car into a creek in whangamata and was found deceased at the scene.

At the young age of 35, he was excelling in his music, performing gigs and living happily in Whangamata with his girlfriend Roxy.

Roxy will be keeping Josh at their house in Whangamata, my entire family living 7 hours drive away.

Josh has left a massive whole in all our hearts and I would like to do all I can to remove the financial burden of all our family while they grieve the death of a truly awesome guy - one who will be remembered for his laugh, love of music, love of family and life.

His grandparents, mother, siblings and extended family members live 7 hours away and need to drive up to be with him and say goodbye.

This is a time of pain, tears, heartache and acceptance - each stage taking a long time and overlapping amongst so many emotions.

Josh's death came as a shock to us all and being so young, has left us feeling truly devastated.

He was the oldest sibling of four, my aunties first baby, my grandparents first grandchild and an uncle of three.

Anyone who knew him, loved him.

If you can help my family in anyway, please do, we truly appreciate the support.
