When I hear our song you choose for me “Forever” by Jason Nelson I just break down into tears. Thank you for ten years of love, laughter, kindness, inspiration, and spiritual awakening. I love you then, now , and forever (as I know you did as well).”

“Heartfelt condolences and prayers of peace and sweet memories to comfort the dear family and friends on the passing of Joshua Cooper. May the prayers encourage and strengthen you now and in the days and moments ahead. Joshua was just an amazing, "will do" and "can do" individual.

Ivey Redding wrote a sympathy message

“Joshua was one of the most consistently interesting people I met when I first started at the Durham VA, so we spent plenty of time talking about anything and everything during breaks at Legacy Tower. He switched to full remote work during the pandemic, but I had the good fortune to run into him a few months ago when we were both picking up new IT equipment. Of course, he was as entertaining as ever. The Durham VA community has lost a wonderful person and asset in Joshua and he will be missed.”
