Dear Kathy,
I am so sorry for your loss-my heart aches for you. You were such a wonderful mother…I’ve thought about you often and remember our good times as neighbors in the Oakland trailer park on Swearingen Hill…may God grant you peace and hold you near during this difficult time. Take care.
Lots of love and hugs,
Kathie (Clemens) DiCarlantonio

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Ledsome family, extended family and friends. Josh and I use to ride our Diamondback and Haro bikes, Zorlac skateboards and go carts  in the early 1990s in Fairlawn. A bunch of kids, trying to find our way. Five dollars in quarters was all we needed for a day of fun at Putt Putt Golf. We  felt at ease around Josh and we always had a good time. He was kind natured and more of a laid back type of person. He had the propensity to bring different groups of people together from all walks of life.  We had a few summers of fun together, then we parted ways as life sometimes has a way of doing. Rest in peace brother. 

Josh was 1 of the first 5 people to befriend me in this juggalo world. It meant alot to me and I'll never forget that. 

You are gone too soon and I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to reconnect. 

My condolences to your family. We all miss you terribly.



Josh,  Thank you for your kindness, you had a knack to be right there when and where peeps needed it!  Your legacy of humble generosity  and unconditional love will live on.  Rest In Paradise, we all can't wait to feel your love and energy at the next show! #vusicfestfam4ever

I've known Josh for about 20 years now. He was one of my first friends I've made when I moved back to the area. I'm gonna miss his calls when he needed an ear. He wasn't one for texting with me, he liked to call. He was all about music. If I didn't hear from 
him for a few months, I always saw him at the next Juggalo show. He even brought me into his reggae world to see Soja in DC. He just wanted to share good times and good music with everyone. His work accident would have put most of us in such a bad place, but for him..it gave him goals to accomplish. He triumphed over adversity. I'll miss him forever.

I've know Josh more than 30 years so I have so many memories with him but the best would be this past summer I bought a bike and rode with Josh alot he always wanted to go down shore dr around the strip stop at parks and smoke I'm gonna miss my bro so much love u josh

Actually I did not know Josh in person.  I just recently in the last few days found out about him.  I've seen so much love for him because it's clear he truly had a heart of gold.   I've always been a miner for a heart of gold :-) <3.   I've been crying every time I see a post or see a picture of him.  I hope his loved ones know that (and I will share what was told to me when my mama passed):
"If a butterfly lands on a milkweed leaf next to where a caterpillar is eating, does the caterpillar know the butterfly is there?  Does the caterpillar know that it will someday become a butterfly?  We are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses in this earthly realm. " 
And so I say go unto perfection, brother.   We will all meet you there in time.  

All my love and prayers for so many with broken hearts,

I can’t even began to tell you how heartbroken I am. It’s hard to even think of the right words to say that would help make any sense of this. It’s truly been a blessing having you as a friend and a brother for all these years and I mean what I say when the world has lost one of the realist people I’ve ever known. I love you my homie…..long may you ride.

I hope your living your most wildest dreams up there! You were such a sweet gentle loving soul who would do anything for anybody you will truly be missed and your name will never be forgotten or  unspoken of!! Love always 

Josh You Defined
LOYALY OVER ROYALTY
What can I say.  ♠️ 💀 The day we met at some Stoopid show we instantly clicked. We pretty much had the same outfit on and we chatted SRH and instantly bonded. I was stoked that you were able to come to my house with Doc for Kyle’s epic Daydream show that our Family all needed so much. I really hope you saw the pic I sent you of my future ♠️ Groms outfit. I really couldn’t wait to send his first pic to YOU! Rest Easy My Brother
♠️ 💀🖕

Though I only met Josh a couple times, knowing him through your music community, made me feel like I knew him so well, but I wasn’t nearly as close to him as many of my friends, but we truly are a family & he had an impact on my life, even with the little interaction I had with him personally. My heart goes out to all mourning his loss, sending so much love, light & healing vibes to you all.  To his family & loved ones, Josh was a special human with a beautiful soul, whether you were close to him or knew him from afar. I know he is smiling down on everyone knowing he was loved! ❤️

Fly high, Josh. Blessed to have spent some time together in Mexico. Life is too short my brother. 

Thank you for your kindness and friendship with nothing but love. A beautiful soul gone too soon. The Slightly Stoopid family loves you! 

#ForeverWithStoopid #4Josh

Man where do I start! You were such an amazing person, the most selfless individual I’ve ever met. You cared so much about everyone and everything and put everyone else’s needs first. I miss you so badly my brother. The many miles we put down on the roads, I never had to look back over my shoulder because to see if you were there because you were beside me. I love and miss you brother. Continue to lay the miles down brother, pave the way! Until I catch you again bro, ride safe. I love you 🖤🖤

Our rides will never be the same! Thanks for being such a great friend! Thanks for pushing us to be better people and my first ride with our sissy bar I’ll be thinking of you! Till we meet again!
