So I’ve been biting my tongue because I hate to be the guy that knows a guy but, all the speculation shit is just too ridiculous. All I’ll say besides the fact that Josh was a solid dude is, he had a medical complication from an injury suffered over the weekend. Lay all the bullshit to rest now and maybe just share a memory of him or keep it simple with a “ride in peace”. Great dude gone too soon. 

Should have kept your tongue firmly in between your teeth. You clearly have zero insight and or spreading second hand rumors as fact. 
 

Thanks for the memories Josh!

Any thoughts of Cooksey being an actual 'journalist ' should officially put to bed.

Note I just said “Cooksey”, and nothing else.

Speculation of general moto rumor is fine, but Speculation on someone's sad and untimely passing is pretty low.

Hopefully Cooksey will acknowledge his mistake, apologize to the family and friends of the deceased and then try to do better in life.

Cooksey is a douche but he is speculating what happened. Mathes did the same saying it was a accident before the confirmation of the family. Bottom line is it is all speculation on someone trying to get the jump on a story they know nothing about.

Really sad to hear of Josh passing. My condolences to his wife & family. I met Josh very briefly several years ago, and he seemed like a super genuine & humble dude. RIP.

The article that link goes to seems oddly AI written. 

Yeah. Pretty sure the Leticia they are referring to is his ex wife, former Ms. Supercross, Leticia Cline. They haven't been together in years. She is currently engaged to Mike from American Pickers. She also owns a bar in Cave City Kentucky where she is also on the city council. I don't think they had any kids. I watched him battling for the lead on one good leg at the Texas Pro Challenge a few years back. Total Stud. Tragic loss. Godspeed.

Lot of people don't remember just how good Josh really was.  He was right on the edge of being a top flight guy in his day but suffered a lot of badly timed injuries.  Had a couple top 5s in 250SX and multiple top 10s on the 250 and 450 both indoors and out.  I only met him a few times, but he was always super friendly and would talk to anyone.  Definitely lived his life the way he wanted, we should all be so lucky.

This... When Josh would randomly show up at sx's and nat's he was pretty much always top 10, usually on pretty clapped bikes too.  I forget the year but he almost won the US Open that one year he rode for Hart & Huntington.  A tenacious MF'er who showed us all that we can do things on our own terms.

Would see him pull up to Nocona or Village at the end of my day.  I'd be loading up, bazillion degrees and track beat to hell.  Then he'd put on a clinic.  I'd stay just to watch him.  

In between motos, he was typically surrounded by kids and adult fans.  Always smiling and engaging.  I never wanted to "bother him" although he never appeared bothered.  Guy was an absolute stud on the track and a gentleman off.

RIP Sheriff.  You made a lot of my days.
