    Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We are deeply saddened by your loss. Know that DJ left an awesome impression with my sons Eric and Christian. Christian shared with me that DJ introduced and taught him how to play his first video game when he spent time with you and your family. I hope this gives you comfort that DJ was looked up to and welcomed my sons into his home as one of his family members. Thank you for sharing your son with us. May God give you and your family strength during this difficult and heartbreaking time. We love you, Sis Shemell Gibbs & Family

    My heart has been saddened by DJ’s passing. Tears flow for my close friend his mom and the family.. I’ve known the Joshua family for many years. They were there for me in time of crisis and selfless.
    Please be comforted during this time in knowing that trouble doesn’t last always. I’m here for you all as much as you need me. I’m liftingng DJ’s parents, siblings and family. You aren’t alone. We love you all dearly. Condolences and comfort to each of you.

    As his little sister DJ being gone affects everything that i do. He was the best big brother and most annoying big brother a girl could have. He was so caring and sweet and funny plus not to metion talented. I think about him all day everyday. And i dont think its ever gonna be easier but at some point you have to accept things for what they are its just not that time for me yet atleast not for a very long while. I love you big head and keep watching over me and your neice Ah’Nestyee (wish you coulve seen her). OCT. 28 1997 – Forever
