memorial for josh Ketchum

Donation protected
Recently the world lost a wonderful man. Josh was stabbed during an attempted home invasion and later died from his wound. He died a hero! When him and his roommate confronted the suspects, one grabbed a broken bottle and tried to stab his roommate, Josh than got in front of him and took the impact. Both subjects got away, as he laid dying. Joshua had autism and acted purely on instinct to protect someone who was like family to him. He doesn't have much family but every friend he ever made became his family. He was a great man. We are beyond devastated and can not afford his funeral or travel expenses, as most of us don't live in the same state. We are asking help to bury this hero, and provide a decent ceremony and have ability to attend the funeral. We also ask for prayers on our journey bringing his killer to Justice. Anything helps even if it is 5$, Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this. Josh Ketchum was kind, giving, loving, happy, fun, forgiving, courageous, self sacrificing and also stubborn as hell but always knew how to make people smile and you could always count on him to be there. He was autistic but he Loved music, drawing, taking risks, enjoying the now and his family and friends more then anything. We are all lucky to have known him, He will forever be missed but remain in our hearts. May justice be right around the corner and he Rest In peace.
