I'm so, so sorry to have to say this for a second time in a week: we've lost one of our own. Pulse's member with the most posts, josh, sadly passed away yesterday due to complications from Crohn's Disease. I know I'm not alone when I say that Josh's personality and prolific posting activity left a sizeable impact and legacy on the entirety of Pulse, and that he'll be missed immensely. If you so choose, you can sign his guestbook and read his obituary here; in lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America.

Josh was always filled with life. His likes always brought out joy in all of the individuals he interacted with. As someone who has gotten to know him well, I am very saddened by this loss. Despite his struggles, he always continued to display an uplifting spirit. He will tryly be missed and I'm listen to this in his remembrance:

Oh. My. God. I'm literally crying rn. This is too much to handle all in one week. I can't believe this is real life right now. Daaaaaamn. This fucking sucks... I... Idk what else to say. :'( This place is not going to be the same without him, either. He was such a funny poster. I'll miss his humor and his light so much.
RIP josh. Fly high. <333

This is terrible news. I didn't interact much with Josh but he had such a fun spirit. What a huge loss to the Pulse community. My thoughts and prayers to his family. RIP Josh.

I'm completely beside myself right now. I have absolutely no idea how to wrap my head around any of this at all. All my love and condolences to his family, and to this PMB family.

Just more terrible news. We lost two members the past few days; one who was a great contributor to the country forum, and now we lost one of our funniest posters. Rest in peace, Josh.

You could never go a day without seeing a post from Josh. While I never interacted with him much, there was no denying that he was one of the most fun and friendly posters on the forum. To know that it's no more is just too much to take in. Such a sad loss, my prayers are with him and his family. RIP Josh; you were a good man.

I'm still in the process of responding to this. It hasn't gotten through to me. We used to talk a lot, this feels really surreal.
May he rest in peace. I don't know what else to say right now.

I literally cannot deal with this. Losing Dudley was hard enough, but this is even more personal. Josh and I talked regularly and I was fortunate enough to have had those interactions with him. Josh was hilarious, he was always there to listen, he was intelligent, and he had a heart of gold. Such a huge loss for Pulse and for the world.
Josh, thank you for being my friend. Pulse has been a better place for having you, and I'm thankful that we were able to be as close as we were. It just won't be the same without you. :'(

So incredibly sad!! Josh was one of my favorite posters and he was always able to give me a good laugh on here. Such a rough week here on Pulse. RIP Josh :(

This has been so hard to accept. What I loved about Josh from when he first joined and started posting was how carefree he was. He was always his own person and always so distinct and had his own personality - but he was always so carefree. He could be so blunt but you knew he also had heart. Even though he started out as a poster who liked almost every post, he was truly someone who, when he liked a post of mine, I felt proud of that. He liked something I posted a few weeks ago and I remember noting it and kind of beaming a bit - as much as I could beam at something online. He was really a special part of this board and it's going to be such a loss that he's not here. I'm really really really going to miss his posts. My thoughts are with the ones he was closest with on here, and the community as a whole, and his family and friends. I'll really miss you Josh. :(

It is really hard to believe that Josh is really gone. He was one of the first people that I remember seeing posting on Pulse. Josh and I would interact in the past. He was such a funny, and very smart person with his knowledge about the charts. I always looked forward to reading any post he made.
Josh, you will be missed my friend. My prayers will be with his friends and family too.
Two posters passing away in less than a week is too much to handle. :'(

I'm in shock and I don't know what to say (again!). Seriously, this is too much to handle right now and I'm denial that he's gone too. Josh was an amazing poster and I will miss him so much. May he rest in peace.

Subconsciously, I think my mind operated like everyone here (or on social media platforms in general) was invincible. Most of us have never met each other, so that contributes I think to the shock of this.
I'm at a loss of coherent thoughts right now. The past 48 hours have reminded all of us we're all human and this is real life. I didn't interact with Josh but I know how much he meant to much of this board. We've lost so much of Pulse's identity this month. RIP Josh.
