I really didnt know josh all that well but when we hung out me him and tara he always made us laugh he had a good heart and he really was a sweet person. i wish you all the best
My thoughts and prayers go out to your entire family. It’s so hard to believe that this could happen to someone that I grew up with since elementary school. Josh could always make the entire room laugh. He had a great sense of humor. He will be missed and remembered by many.
Josh was a great person. He always knew how to brighten people’s days with his crazy sense of humor. I know that we kind of lost touch whenever I went to college and stuff, but I have so many memories of him when we were younger. Every time I think about him, I smile at all the fun memories we had. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family and other friends as we all deal with this horrible situation. I hope that we are all at peace and know that Josh wouldn’t want them to be sad, but he’d want us to think of his life as a celebration of lots of good moments.
Josh, Josh, Josh was the craziest kid I’ve ever met… He for one never called me by my first name it was always “Sterling” not jess or jessie. Even if I was beyond mad at the kid, he could always make me laugh on the worst days. He had the best sense of humor for any situation. My prayers go out to his friends and family who have lost a friend, brother, son, cousin and nephew. Always keep smiling cause you know Josh is right now. He’s probably skateboarding on the stairs to heaven. May god be with you.
Michelle and troy, I am so sorry to hear about josh. its still so unreal to me. He was honestly one of my best friends. we dated for a little while and I came to your house once. he had the biggest heart and he was the funniest kid undefined EVER met. He came to bjs house once and fell down the main hill in Oil City and it was hilarious because he had road rash all over him. haha. He’s never called me by my first name. it was always sterling or sterling-o. He was the best. You used to get mad when we were younger because we would stay on the phone all night long 🙂 Just know he’s not suffering anymore and he’s skateboarding and having a blast on the stairs to heaven. Probably already getting in trouble. I pray that god heals your pain and let all of josh’s memories remain in your heart and stay alive forever.
Troy, Michelle, Jesse, and Jeremy, It is in deepest sympathy that I am writing this message. Josh was an amazing friend to me. I remember when I used to call your house and you guys would hate it because we’d be on the phone for hours at a time. (sorry. haha) We had a lot of great memories and since Sunday, every time I think about him, I smile because he always made me smile. He was a really good person. He always knew how to make people laugh. He will be remembered and missed. Prayers go out to you and the rest of your family as you get through this tough time.
Josh was an amazingly smart, caring, kind and funny person who will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family.
Josh was the type of person that when you talked to him, you couldn’t help but smile. He will be greatly missed by those in our church as well as in our community. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers and we would like to extend all our love and compassion to you in this time of need.
It is indescribable to read the obituary of someone I went to school with since kindergarten. My heart goes out to Josh’s family, I can’t imagine the sadness they are going through. I pray that Josh is in a better place and know that he isn’t suffering anymore. God bless.

Josh will be greatly missed by his family, school, friends, church and community. His compassion, sense of humor, bright spirit, intelligence, kindness towards everyone, and intelligence made him a great person. Each day he seemed to at least make a handful of people smile or laugh. Josh was very blessed to have such a wonderful family and friends. He now leaves us with the smiles, laughs, memories, and most importantly, the valuable lesson that each day is precious and we should be thankful for it. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
I am sooooo sorry for your lose. My heart goes out for you and your family. It really hits home hard and hurts. He had a place in my heart that was always there. My prayers are with you. Jesus is an awesome God and he holds him in his arms. I pray for your pain and tears. Nothing on this earth is going to make it easier. EXCEPT JESUS He’s help me through a lot he will see you through. I have been sending prayers and many others have too. I really am soooooooo sorry.
I give my prayers and respects to not only Josh but his family. Josh was a great person and always knew how to cheer people up especially me, I remember the times in school going around the classrooms playing with our finger skateboards,and the times at lunch having food fights and the time at his house we would go snowboarding or going on a half inflated pool raft out in the middle of his pond and throwing seaweed at each other and all the times we skateboarded in his barn, BST was and will always be the best skate team XD, ya i had alot of fun crazy times with Josh and i will always remember him. Rest in peace my friend.
My thoughts and prayers are to not only Josh but his family also.. Josh was a very gifted individual, he had a great sense of humor and the undefined to make everyone smile one way or another. He was always making jokes or acting goofy just to make people smile. You couldnt be in a bad mood when you were around Josh, because he would find that certain way to bring you into a better mood. I remember all his crazy facial expressions, and the weird noises he would make but yet on the other hand he was a complete sweetheart. I can remember when Josh used to call my house and we’d be on the phone for hours. I can remember in 5th grade we were “Boyfriend and Girlfriend.” He gave me a keychain and told me that everytime I looked at it I would think about him..Josh will be missed by many people, not only his family but his friends too. I was devistated when I heard the bad news.. But I keep telling myself He’s not hurting anymore and hes with god looking down upon me! R.I.P Josh. You’ll be truely missed by many..
To Joshua’s family,
I want to give you my deepest condolences but also my respect and gratitude. You brought into this world a person so full of light and laugter that i think his smile shone brighter than the stars. No matter how anybody was feeling Joshua Troy Ehrhart could turn their day around in a heartbeat, and he did that for me countless times. Your son was a great son, friend and brother to many and I’m so glad I had a chance to be a part of his life. I know these times are hard but I want you to know that Josh is smiling down on you right this minute. From the golden gates above he is watching over you and though I know how hard it may be, try to smile and laugh because that is what he wants. Josh lives in laughter. And he is still alive in your heart, as long as you remember him, he is there<3
