What a beloved one this young man was/is.
Ya Salaam, I am sorrowing to hear of your passing.

Always sad to hear that somebody you knew has passed away. Was doing some random searching online for former co-workers, and found the news about Josh. Now, Josh and I weren’t friends— but we had a lot of similar interests…. we kind of drove each other crazy, conflicting personalities… but we worked closely for many years and I was bummed to find this out. I knew him ten years ago, and he introduced me to yoga and mindful eating… and mindful being…

He was reported missing 09/30/2011 and with a little facebook searching I saw he posted two days before that, “It is true when we work diligently in an effort of kindness to instill the greatness of kindness among the world there are no acts of harm that can stop us because of our pure effort of non-judgement and kindness. Love, blessings and Bismallah Allah Rhakman Arheem, Matin Joshwa Merriken” RIP
