I don't know who here on the campfire knows SharpShooter personally or even who is close enough geographically to make the services, but for those who wish to do so, there will be a Rosary at 7:00 PM tomorrow, 17 Jan at the Starbuck Funeral Home in Merkel, Texas. The funeral will be held at Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Church at 10:00 AM, Monday, 18 Jan in Merkel.
Lisa expressed her deepest gratitude for the outpouring of love and prayers from so many. She took heart in the fact that Josh had touched so many in such a positive way.
May God bless you all,
John

Is there a link you could provide to indicate a preferred way to honor Josh? An old cowboys' home or something?  Thanks for getting the information out. art

I don�t know him or remember his posts, but his family is in my prayers.
Can you tell us a little about who he was, and what made him special to you?

Greetings, Campfire Hunters.
I am Lisa, Josh's wife, and have been reading your posts on this and a few other sites. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind words, thoughts, stories, and prayers. Josh was such a special man who touched so many lives. He never knew how much he was loved or stopped to think about it. He simply blazed the trail forward creating new memories and friendships whereever he went.
I am fortunate that he shared with me so much about what he had going on with you all when we drove the ranch roads every evening to check on the cows and horses, feed deer, and just be together after our work day. I was fortunate to have met some of you while with others I got to follow the conversations on the phone or computer. Our lives were enriched by your presence and our home was more lively because of your passions.
He loved me more than I knew was possible. He gave me everything, a beautiful home, a wonderful life, a trip to Africa for 26 days where I had his complete attention, and his unwaivering loyalty. He was the first man I met in college, then still 17 years old. I knew on the first date that he was "the one." That has never changed after 26 years, 23 of that in marriage. I will miss him more than I can imagine. He was everything to me. He made me his "Princess!"
God bless you all for your kindness and friendship to him.
Keep your powder dry,
Lisa

It will be hard for awhile. But your husband will live in your memory. From your post it sounds like you have a marriage second to none. In order to be a great husband, there needs to be a great wife. There is no question this is true with your marriage. There are so many great people here at the campfire, that I know you will never be alone. It was great to see you post as Sharpshooter. It would be great if, from time to time, you would chime in and let us know how you are doing. Peace of Christ be with you!!!!!

That is very beautiful Ma'am. Know he is missed here and you are in our prayers.

Mrs. Lisa,
I agree with the others that we would be honored by your presence. I am sure Sharpshooter would agree that we need someone like you to bring up our average.
Be forewarned that you should keep both eyes the others that posted before me. They are a shady bunch and not to be trusted.

Thank you all kindly for your generous invitation and words of sympathy. It would be an honor to join your group, no matter how shady Longbob warns me you are:) Please know in advance, I will have very little to add in the way of ballistics, technique or anything that requires real knowledge, but I wouldn't mind throwing in if I see something Josh would have liked to comment on as a way to honor him. Be warned, you might get more Josh stories than you really wanted to hear!
Right now his family and I are maintaining and are still trying to accept this as reality. I still believe he is going to walk in from hunting in the pasture about dark every evening with one of his beautiful Sharps or Martini and Hagn rifles in his hand and another dead wild hog laying in the field. May I just say, I accept God's plan, but I don't like it one bit!!!

some mighty fine words you spoke of your husband m'am
I'm sure he'd be honored by them.
Am very sorry for your family's loss.

Please know in advance, I will have very little to add in the way of ballistics, technique or anything that requires real knowledge, Don't let that give you pause, you'll fit with about 95% that post in the Campfire section. Wishing you all the best.
