Many of Joshua’s videos featured his girlfriend Emmy Gillikin, who confirmed his passing in a touching post on March 20. «I miss this sweet boy so much right now. I never thought I’d be without you. Josh showed me what true love is, even though I am so young», - she wrote, sharing a TikTok montage of them.
«He always managed to make me smile, no matter how mad I was at him. I never thought I’d miss those little arguments we had over absolutely nothing. Josh was so loved by everyone around him, he was a great friend and, most importantly, the best boyfriend. Josh would do absolutely anything for me, even when he was at his lowest». Since then, Emmy has deleted her TikTok account.
The cause of Joshua’s death is not disclosed
