With great sadness, I received the news regarding Josh.
In addition to being a friend, Josh was the regions area coordinator for Idaho Operation Lifesaver.

Josh was a person that took his responsibilities at the Sheriff's Office and as our area coordinator seriously.

As the area coordinator, Josh worked diligently trying to educate people of the potential dangers that exist at highway rail crossings and around railroad right of way.

All of us at Idaho Operation Lifesaver send our condolences to his family and the Sheriff’s Office.

We all will miss him.
