I'm so sorry for your loss.  I just found out last week when I went to the Dry Cleaners.  I was expecting Josh's smiling face when I learned the news of what happened.  Josh always had such a wonderful attitude and was always smiling.  My heart goes out to his family and friends.  He certainly will be missed. Teresa Knight

I am so sorry to Josh's family, I went in their yesterday to drop off my winter coat, Josh usually always comes to my car and gets my laundry, I said where's Josh? Tears came to my eyes as the young girl try's to explain. He was so nice. He will be missed,

To the family of Lee, Josh Jin Young,
During this time of loss, may you be assured of the comfort and guidance that await you at the gentle hand of our Heavenly Father, "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you...." John 14:27
Love in Christ,

Member of Lyndon Baptist Church

I knew Josh. a very nice young man, who was always smiling. He cleaned my Santa suit every year for years. If I was in a pinch and needed it cleaned in a day he would get it done. He will be sadly missed by me. I feel sorry for his parents, and others as I lost my wife, and daughter at a young age also. God speed to all. But don't give up. Continue on with your lives and do the things for the Holidays as Josh would want it that way. All of you are in my Prayers.

I am very saddened by the loss of a great friend. I've known Josh for some years by coming in my families store. He and I would talk every time I would see him. Josh was always so kind, thoughtful, and carrying I always enjoyed talking to him. In the mornings as I left for work at 6am.He would come up Tazwell Dr. see me getting in my car for work and honk at me. My heart goes out to Joshua's Family!!! I pray that God may ease the pain and suffering you all are feeling right now especially at Christmas Time!!! There are no words that I could say that would make things any easier but know you're in my prayers. I'll miss you Josh very much and will always hold you close in my heart until we meet again in heaven with Our Heavenly Father and Lord and Savior Jesus Christ !!! Love you my brother Josh can't wait to see you again!!!!.

Josh, you were one of the first people I met when I moved into my condo three years ago. You were always so happy about life. I always enjoyed our chats in passing. You will always be remembered as a bright and inspiring person. You will be missed by all.

We are shocked and saddened by this news. We will miss Josh calling us the "funny couple" as we joked about who would pay when picking up our laundry. We will keep the family in our daily prayers. We are so sorry.

I only knew Josh as he had recently taken the pictures at my daughter's wedding in November.  I'm so sorry and our hearts our sad for all the family and friends of this talented man.

I've known you most of my life and I still can't get past the fact that you are gone...You were such a big impact on the community with your kindness, love and laughter. You will be missed by many and stay within our hearts until we meet again brother. I know you would want everyone to smile instead of cry but it's hard to due so when you lose someone that makes everything more positive. This isn't goodbye my friend...until we meet again, see you later.

Jin was always smiling. He had a heart for God and was always willing to lend a hand. Heaven truly gained an Angel.  I know we will see him again in Heaven.

Josh I'll miss your good sense of humor. I wish I'd known you better and I'm sorry now that we didn't get it together to shoot the steamboats when they were in town as we discussed. My newsfeed will miss all your food pics too. Godspeed.

I only met you once or twice, but by all the love that is being poured out for you, I know you were a great person and a true reflection of Christ's love. May God Bless your family and friends as they go through this difficult time.

Josh and I greeted each other as "Brothers" when I came into his shop, and such we were.  Josh was such an encouragement as a man after God's own heart, so dedicated to our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. Truly God's ways are not ours, and such a time is this.  My heart goes out to Joshua's family and close friends, you have lost someone very special and there are no words to express such heart's sorrow.  Know you are in my prayers.

Jin, you were a true friend, a godly man, and an inspiration to me. I still can't believe that you're gone, but I know you'll greet me alongside our Lord when I join you in Heaven. You used to tell me that our time on earth is so brief compared to eternity we'll spend together with Christ. I truly believe so. You'll live in my heart forever until I see you again. when I left KY, you said, "If I don't get to see you again, I know I'll see you again in Heaven so it's not a good-bye." I wanna say the same thing... See you.

Josh, 
I had the opportunity to know you and your beautiful girlfriend through Jenn and Joseph. Even though we met briefly, your outgoing, positive, and fun personality made their special day so much fun. I know that a lot of people will miss you, and I am truly thankful to God that I was able to meet you. I hope you rest in peace, and I know you are having the time of your life with our Heavenly Father!

Thank you for your bright smile and generosity when me and my family visited your business. When learning about you and Jessica, your face lit up just talking about her. You were most definitely the perfect match. Praying for all the lives you touched. You will be missed.

"Jin" i may have only known you a little under a year but you have been an amazing motivator and awesome photographer to know. I will always remember you and cherish the memories that we shared bro. May you rest in heaven and may there be plenty of good lighting there so your photos will come out amazing. 
love and miss you bro.  -Ty (StudioOne photography)

The world lost a Beautiful person. He has clearly touched the lives of many and has been a Blessing. We will miss you always Jin! May God be with your Loved Ones...

I met Jin in 7th grade and he has always been such a great guy. I don't remember anyone ever saying an ill word about him. I will always remember him saying my name in his super special way (Tay-ter). I will very much miss his beautiful work on Facebook and always making me hungry with his pictures of dinner. Glad I sent him that Christmas he asked for last year. Xoxo

Jin and I grew up together at FKBC Louisville. It was so incredibly difficult to tackle him in football. But as much as he was a hulking force in football, he was also a real gentleman and role model to a lot of youngsters. Like all of us, Jin wasn't perfect, but he always had the right attitude. I learned from Jin the importance of having faith and the value of being optimistic in the face of adversity. Jin's had a huge influence on how I think about work, friends and family. I'm blessed for having known him.

Jin was such an inspiration to us all.  He will be remembered by many!  May God be with all that is left behind that feel the pain and loss of such a great man!  Cathy Head/Hwang's Martial Arts

Josh you where the kind of person that the first time I met you I knew we would become friends because of your outgoing personality

You were one of the first people I remember meeting when I moved to Louisville and started going to FKBCL. Your laughter was always contagious and your spirit always shone through, making everyone feel blessed to know you.  Though you were my friend, I wish I would have taken the time to build that friendship more. You are in a better place now, and my prayers go out to your family and friends. Rest peacefully, you will be remembered, and I know you will be watching down over all of us.
