Beloved son of Holly and Ben Pilgram and Randy and Kathy Dame.  Josh was a son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend and has brought much joy to so many lives. 
 
After complications from a brain tumor and several surgeries, Josh passed away peacefully on March 2, 2011 at 8:43pm.  Although this is a great loss to us, even in death, Josh is still giving and was able to save several lives by donating his organs.  So it gives peace to the family to know, that besides the wonderful memories we have, there is still a part of him that lives on.
 
The family is also comforted knowing that Josh is with God and watching over each and every one of us.  Josh was an amazing man.  He was a fighter and gave it his all until the end.  As his family and friends all know, he is "The Big Deal" and will be missed each and every day.  There will not be a memorial service for Josh, but in a few months, we will have a celebration of his life.  It is so obvious that Josh was loved and cherished by his friends and family.  He will be deeply missed.
 
The family is requesting donations be made in Josh’s memory to Mid-America Transplant Services, 1110 Highlands Plaza Drive East, Suite 100, St. Louis, MO 63110, phone # 1-888-376-4854.
