i am so sad to hear about your loss and I cannot imagine how hard this time is for all of you. I want you all to know that I am praying (really praying) for you guys. To brittany, crystal, and amanda, i want you to know that I would love to take you out to dinner individually, or just to caribou or whatever you like. We can do this in these months, or in a while, depending on when you guys want it. Miss Bell loves you guys so dearly and I want you to know that I’m here as more than just a karate instructor, but a big sister. There is truly hope found in the love of Jesus Christ and I hope I can share some of that hope and love with you sweet girls. My cell is 7636392630. If you guys wanna take me up on it, send me a text ANYTIME. love you all dearly <3

Josh was an exceptionally hard worker–and wonderful with his great kids. I looked forward to seeing him every weekend at our part time job. He will terribly missed.

Josh was such a great role model at Premier Karate. He was always helpful, dedicated and a joy to have as a part of the Premier Karate family. We will miss him greatly, but will always remember the good times we had with him as well. Our prayers go out to his entire family.

To the lovely Putka Family,
I am so sorry to hear that you have lost such an amazing father. I too lost my dad when I was in high school so I know how this feels. I can tell you that I learned the most from my dad in his death. I hope the same for you. Your dad ALWAYS meant a great deal to the Premier Karate family as do all of you kids. The PK family helped me during that time and I know they will do the same for you. We are with you.

Love Kristin

So sorry for your loss. May your hearts be at ease.R.I.P Josh

To My Dear Friend, Catherine and All of her Wonderful Family:
I just want to put my arms around you and hug you. I can’t imagine having a loss of a beloved son, father, brother, nephew. Catherine, you have always spoken so lovingly of Josh, I wish I had had the opportunity to meet him. I will see you at the memorial, and am praying for you all during this very sad time. ❤

To the Putka family Michael, Brittany, Crystal and Amanda I am so sorry for your loss. I know you are all strong kids /young adults you all will always love and remeber you great father. To Monica I know you will help your children through this hard time in life for all of you. You are a wonderful strong mother and person. Josh will be remembered and celebrated for his short life he was taken to early from us all. To all the rest of his friends and family celebrating his life is what he would have wanted not to mourn. I know Josh would have wanted all of us to be there for his children.

Sorry for lost. Prays are with u all
