He also served West Albemarle Baptist Church as a pianist and deacon, and later served Pleasant Grove Baptist Church as a deacon and teacher. Joshua loved being involved in local politics and served in many capacities through the years including the school board and several terms as a county commissioner and county attorney. Joshua's life passion was being a servant of God and loving his family, friends, and community. He was a wonderfully devoted father, grandfather, and husband. He will be dearly missed by every life he touched over the years God gave him on this earth. During his last days he spoke often of looking into the eyes of his Savior, and we know he is rejoicing in the glorious presence of Christ Jesus.
