Joshua was born in Killeen, Texas on August 19, 1997. He was a smart young man who made the Dean’s List, completed his Associate’s Degree in Business Administration from Old Dominion University, and was on his way towards the completion of his Bachelor’s Degree.

He is preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Noh Kyongho and Hong Chongsoon.
