He lived with his mother and her family in Burwell until he was three. He then came to live with his Great Aunt and Uncle, Rosemary (Long) and Marcus Pierson north of Ewing, Ne. and was welcomed into his now extended family with loving arms. After a family gathering with all of Rosemary and Marcus's grandchildren, Josh decided it was too confusing for him to call Marcus and Rosemary his aunt and uncle and they became Grandma and Grandpa from that point on. He attended school in Orchard and then Northeast Community College for two semesters. Josh's heart was back home on the farm and he returned to live with Marcus. He had just moved with a friend to their first "official" bachelor pad in January. He was working at Maschhoff Farms at Bartlett at the time of his death. Josh played basketball and participated in powerlifting while in high school. He enjoyed shop and auto technology as evident by the thumpin' of his stereo announcing his arrival long before he got there. He loved the outdoors and hunting, fishing, and going to the lake with his brother and his family and friends. He followed in the family tradition with his love of bowling. Joshua was a giant, gentle soul whose friends and family meant the world to him. He is survived by his Great Uncle(Grandpa) Marcus Pierson of Ewing, NE. Brother, Joe and Kris Lamb of Sargent and his niece and nephews, Kendra, Bryce, Grant, and Noah. Uncle John and Brenda Lytle, Uncle Jim Lytle, and Aunt Betty and Rick Bowers.
