Sad News.........
I learned yesterday that our beloved fellow robot builder, Josh Starnes, has passed away.
I will always remember Josh for his amazing attitude, big dreams, innovative thinking, and numerous contributions to our community. He was always so friendly, and although we never met in person, I still had a meaningful friendship with him online. He made a significant impact in the field of robotics, and he will be greatly missed.
Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.
Very sad news. Too young. Makes one stop and reflect on life. My thoughts and prayers to the family.
Josh always inspired me with his enthusiasm developing his latest robotics project. Every robot showcased his skill and innovation designing and building his robots while sharing every detail with the community, answering our questions and helping others with our builds. I was shocked and saddened to read this. Josh will be missed.
Just one of his many contributions to Hack a Day.

Thats a nice tribute link to Josh. His family was supportive of his hobby, which was turning into a career. I had been close enough with Josh where he had asked if I would be a reference for his most recent employer. I’ve always had great positive things to say about Josh. It angers me when good people are taken away from us. I can only hope there’s a divine reason taking wonderful people away for us. He will be missed. He is missed.
@DJ, well said. Thanks you.
