About Josh Prediletto

Josh was an amazing son and friend who will be missed for a lifetime. His smile would light up every room he walked in. He was taken far too young and far too early. He spent his life looking down to see us. Now, he is looking down to watch over us.
We miss and love you, Josh.

After nancy (mom) & scott walked down the aisle leaving the room where the service was hold, sheri and i after a few minutes got into the line to leave. I saw a couple of josh's friends going down the aisle the other way. When they reached the front of the chapel, near josh, they got down on their knees and prayed. I will remember that image forever. ~too tall, ron~.

It's strange to sit here and even start writing this. It's hard for me to even think that he is gone. It always makes me feel better when i hear this that i read. "don't think of him as gone away-his journey's just begun. Life holds so many facets-this earth is only one. Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears, in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think how he must be wishing, that we could know today-that nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched-for nothing loved is ever lost-and he was loved so much. "

josh was the greatest big brother. I honestly would do anything to just hang out or be with him again. My holidays will now be me remembering all the great meals we got to share with our family throughout my first 20 years. He really always put his friends and family before himself and that is something he will always be remembered by; so caring and always wanting to give, give, give. I looked up to him ever since i was a kid and forever will untit i get to see him again. I'll love you forever and always thinking of you my broddder. Love your little sister,
angela aka. Annabell.

I had the privilege to work with josh at red robin for the past three years. For a long time at five foot i was the shortest person there, and josh always towered over me, and we got a lot of looks from guests when we would stand next to each other. Josh always got enjoyment out of picking on me and when i would try to dish it back at him, he would literally pick me up and carry me across the restaurant, put me down, smile and tell me to stay there and i couldn’t help but just laugh. When he wasn’t picking on me we always joked about how the two of us could run the how place by ourselves, and one night we got the chance to do just that. I remember it was the night the new harry potter book was coming out at midnight at borders, which was in the same parking lot as red robin. So a ton of people wandered in about 10:45, fifteen minutes before we were suppose to close and it was only josh the busser and i left that were still on. And even though it was crazy we were able to serve, expo and buss every table that came in. After that night i told josh he was my superman because i don’t know anyone else who would have been able to handle serving that many tables at one time. From then he was, and forever will be my superman. Love you superman!

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to coach josh in basketball his sophomore year in high school. Josh loved basketball. He was the first kid to arrive at the gym and the last one to leave. I'm sure he would have stayed in the gym all night if we let him. We went 17-5 that season and josh was our leading scorer and rebounder. But no matter how much success he had, josh always stayed humble and continued to work hard. Josh had a super attitude. He took far more pleasure in the success of the team than any individual success he might have. He was just mischievious enough to keep the guys on the team relaxed and having fun, but when it was time to compete, he was all business. He expected to win no matter how good our opponent and he didn't like to lose. But josh was always gracious no matter the outcome. It was a special group to coach and i truly looked forward to each day i got to spend working with those guys. I am very thankful for the time i got to spend with josh. It was all to brief, but it created a lifetime of wonderful memories that i will always cherish. Love you, josh!

I was fortunate to be a part of josh's life when he was a baby. Such a sweet loving little guy. Nancy you were such a good mom, your love for him was always clear to see. My heart breaks for you and mike, i wish i would have had the chance to see him grow up, but reading all that people had to say about him does not surprise me, it sounds like he was an awesome young man. God bless your family during this time. Berta dellinger.

I was fortunate enough to have had called josh a part of my family. Growing up, i remember josh continuously having a smile on his face--he was always the life of the party, cracking jokes every chance he could, and endlessly filling people with laughter. There was never a dull moment when josh was around. For this reason, i will not cry for him. Instead, i am inspired by him. He lived, and i mean truly lived his life and took nothing for granted. I regret that i am unable to be with you all today, but it is my hope that by knowing josh, all of us will adopt his mindset and live whole-heartedly for each moment, embrace every smile, and acknowledge the greatness of even simple laughter. I will always remember sitting on aunt nancy’s couch, josh at my side, playing the acoustic guitar and singing along to don mclean’s “american pie. ” it is the little moments like this that we often overlook that turn out to be the most memorable. As my favorite philosopher winnie the pooh says: “if there ever comes a day when we can't be together keep me in your heart, i'll stay there forever. ”
simply put: josh, you were one of a kind and i feel so blessed to have known you. In christ, there are no goodbyes and there is no end. I know i’ll see you on the other side. =].

Josh always thought about the people around him. He made sure he had a kind smile, joke, or some witty comment meant to keep things light and fun. I will always remember the trips we took to the beach with cousins and friends. The earliest that i recall taking josh was the summer that he was four. I got all the kids dressed to go out on the sand. Everyone ran out to play but josh just sat on the sofa looking sad. Really sad. Sad enough to cry. "do you miss your mom?" no "do you have a tummy ache?" no. This was before josh was tall, he sat slumped forward with his short little legs sticking straight out to the edge of the seat and his famous blonde mushbowl haircut and continued to look miserable. Finally i asked him to please tell me what was wrong. He looked down at his feet and said "these aren't the socks tht go with this outfit, these go with the other outfit. " that was our josh, always the perfectionist. He brought this quality to so many things in his life, his friendships, school, sports, and his job. We will miss you josh but are truly thankful that you will forever be surrounded by all that is truly perfect. Save a place for us. Love you so, aunt debbie.

Josh is someone i will never forget. I spent the last little while recalling every memory that i have of him from playing basketball to watching tv and almost every single one brought a smile to my face. I am deeply saddened by the fact that he is gone, but thankful that i had the opportunity to know him at all.

Josh,
i'm not ready for you to be gone. Joshua michael prediletto was not only an amazing person and friend, but an inspiration to everyone, including me. He was so easy to talk to. Always ready to make you laugh. That smile could brighten anyone's day. Did i mention he's serving ability was off the chart? he gives any dirty bird a run for their money. Literally. It's hard to accept he's gone. I just saw him tuesday night. Being as sarcastic as ever. (: he even sang to us. Joshy i miss you and always will. I know your looking down on us, and i want you to know you've impacted my life, and i'm sure the lives of many others. Until we meet again, enjoy your massages by sexy ladies in bikinis on those clouds above me. I'll be thinking of you (:

love always,
ariel hamby.

Josh led an amazing life and touched the lives of numerous others. He dearly loved his family and friends (which set ncaa record numbers during his stay in the hospital. ) there was so much love, caring, sharing, compassion, uniting, and humor that so many staff at ohsu said that they had never seen #'s like this in 14 years of their time there. We as family, friends and staff were there to to take care of josh and be there for support, love, and prayer. As it turned out, to a man and a woman, we all did just that, but in reality josh ended up taking care of all of us giving back his love, his many thanks to all individually, and his gratification for the entire group (who are all our extended family now and forever) who loved and love him sooooo much. His sense of humor and sarcasm were so apparent throughout w/ no end in sight. I will miss him so much, but know that he still lives in all that he touched. You always ask why? it is only god's and josh's secret, but i can only assume that the lord was having a shortage of tall angels w/ a sense of humor, compassion for others, and needed a messenger of love. God rest your beautiful soul and it was an extreme honor for me to be w/ you in your life. You touched more people in your 26 years than most others do in 100 years of theirs. With love and precious memories forever,

-uncle jeff-.

Josh put forth the biggeset and strongest fight that i have ever seen. He was surrounded by so much love from all of his friends and family and was embraced by the hands of god not alone. His sarcasm and jokes kept him alive and strong till the end, which we were all able to share. My love goes to his family- such wonderful people that shouldn't of had to loose someone so amazing. No more pain, no more suffering, josh is an angel of god and watching over us all. God bless him, and all of his family. We love you!!
