About Me

Joshua Adam Brand(August 20, 1981 – June 24, 2007)Josh Brand is my big brother. I wanted to make this memorial to honor him and all that he did on this Earth. I hope that this page will allow for people all over the world to learn who he was and how he really lived. If you can take one thing, it's that anyone can help change the world. Josh taught me that it starts with each one of US. Please take the time to comment on a memory that you have with Josh.
