I know I haven't actually met Joshua, but this story makes me sad. It's always sad when lives are taken like this. Good luck in whatever's next, and I wish I'd managed to meet you on Wow.

I remember meeting Joah for the first time in BRD, I was the idiot in the lava, and he and cat from BB healed me till I swam out. I got to know him better through mutal friends and always had a blast with him. I know how it is to lose a loved one, I lost my fiance in a car accident almost 9 months ago, many who knew Arrty knew her. This poem helped me through my loss, and I hope will help you through yours.

We little knew that morning, that God
was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
you did not go alone;
for part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.

bar

You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide;
and though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same;
but as GOD calls us one by one,
The Chain will link again.

Im so sorry to hear of your loss, i played World of Warcraft with josh for the last 4 years and in that period of time i got to know him quite well. He was cheerful and always had fun especially beating me up in duels. he was the best hunter i'd ever seen. im sorry that i never got the chance to met him in person. i send my deepest condolences to the family and to everyone that new Arrtemis(josh), heres a little poem that may help abit, i too lost my brother when he was 21. this poem is by Mary Elizabeth Frye and i hope it makes u guys feel a little better.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.

Unlike most of my fellow WoW gamers I did meet Josh in person. With my embarrassingly funny attempts to play Guitar Hero with him and his family, he would put me at ease that it didn’t manner how well I did as long as I tried and had fun. The same for WoW when we played together. I have to believe that was the way he live his life… That it doesn’t matter how well he did as long as he tried and had fun along the way while he had the chance.

I’ll miss the jokes we shared at Jimmy’s and Melinda’s expense, but most of all I’ll miss the opportunities gone with him to repeat those memories and to expand our budding friendship. My life was better with him in it.

I haven't talked to Josh "Arrty" for a good long while, but I can tell you honestly that knowing him was great joy, and even over the expanse of time, I remember him clearly with a smile. His absence diminishes us all.

Josh "Arrtemis" was very outgoing, and it made me extremely happy when we played together. Whether it be pointless fun in running old dungeons or just sitting and chatting, arrty always ended up making us all laugh and keeping our spirits upbeat. May he rest in peace and live on in all of the hearts that he's touched.

Although we have not been in close contact,
all of you have always been in our thoughts
since we moved.
Katie and I remember Josh's competitive
personality and love for sports. His playing out
in the driveway of the" pressure shot" or the "final
goal" and yelling "shoots and scores". What an
awesome kid.
Our prayer's, thoughts and love go out to all of you,
and regardlessof distance, you have always been
and will always be in our thoughts and memories.
God Bless you Joshua and may you rest in peace.

Never has there been a more trusted companion, good natured soul, or light hearted spirit as there was in Josh "Arrte" Jasman. Rest well old friend, until we meet again for the next great adventure.

I remember when Josh "Arrtemis" joined our guild about five years ago. He was always a cheerful person, as well as a funny. Josh Played a Hunter and to shoot things as a hunter he had to stand the furthest away to shoot the creature. Well Arrty always had difficulty staying on Ledges and Bridges. During an intense fight we would all die and then wonder where is Arrty. Usually we would find him under the bridge or off the backside of the cliff. You see he would get so excited during the fight that he would back off the bridge or ledge. His Nick Name then became Half Hunter, Half Amazing. We all laughed with Arrty, time and time again about his bridge misshaps. I always knew he was ill but never asked him about it other than how you feeling today. He would always respond with a cheerful "I am doing Ok! Lets go kill some alliance!" Eventhough I only knew him On-line which is a regret, But his memeroy will live on in the hearts of his Family and Friends. He is at Peace now but not forgotten. I will miss Josh " Arrtemis" Jasman

If someone were to meet josh for the first time you would have never known he was sick. I think that it was made Josh so great, he was always a great, positive addition to anything. He was one of those people you could count on if you needed his help or needed someone to talk to. He has been a great friend to many people and I know he will be deeply missed. I am proud to have had him as a friend, rest in peace buddy.

Though physically met we have not, I knew him well as he knew me well. We knew each other for about five years; I believe I met him when he was about fifteen of age – I was about eleven. It is hard to believe you know someone for so long and never meet which will be one of the biggest regrets for as long as I live. We both played an online game together in which we both met. Neither of us was too good at the game, however, we progressively got better together. We rarely did things separated and it soon become almost unheard of. We did not seem to do what was ‘normal’ of the game, we tended to just have fun and do random things, the most fun we ever had was jumping off large cliffs whether we lived or not, it was a fun experience in which we both laughed until we cried and that is just what friends do.
I hardly ever realized how hard it was for him because he never told me anything about what he was going through and never complained and always remained cheerful. But I understood that, I hardly ever talked about it with him because I knew he would just lie to me or simply say I don’t know. He wasn’t just a friend, or a best friend, if there is something beyond that, just a completely true friend, one who would stick with each other forever. We will be friends forever, long after I am gone and my family after me. Because as long as his memory never fades, neither will he; he will always live within our hearts and mind and instilling us with his undying happiness. That is the person we will forever love and remember, Joshua “Arrtemis” Jasman.

Josh was syrupy a special person. To be able to teach someone about theirselves through an online game from a thousand miles away shows how amazing of a person Josh was. I am proud to be able to call him my friend and will deeply miss him.

Josh was the most kind and brave guy I know. He had a heart of gold. I will mis his misdirects and his bridge falls emensely.

I would like to congratulate the Jasman family for creating someone so great and unforgetable.

Would that I could find a phrase that could drive the pain away. Alas, I can think of naught but that Josh will be missed.

Deepest sympathy from Josh's WoW family to his real family.
