Knowing Josh was to know he had a very loving heart. His smile would light up the room and he was always the first one to give you a big hug. His love overflowed for his four nieces, Brooklyn, Emberlyn, Gwendolyn, and Gracelyn, and for his former wife, Brittani.
In his free time, Josh loved to hike and shoot slingshots with his best friend and cousin, Jacob Markley; even learning to make his own slingshots. He was known for being a world traveler, foodie, and stained-glass artist. Josh was an expert Glock shooter – earning many awards for his marksmanship.
Left to cherish his memory are his parents, Pamela (Todd) Moody and James Ginoza; brother, Mitchell (Jasmine) Ginoza; sister, Jasmine Ginoza; grandparents, Beverly (David) Lloyd; nieces, Brooklyn, Emberlyn, Gwendolyn, and Gracelyn; and his two beloved cats, Zia and Roland.
