I am fortunate enough to have known Josh throughout high school at Marist and college at U of I. We shared many classes together and even had the same circle of friends. He was one of the nicest, sincerest and most genuine people I have ever come across. He knew how to smile and make other people smile no matter what the situation. I'm extremely saddened to hear this news. Josh will be remembered forever. My thoughts are with the entire Guyette family at this time.

Joshua had a beautiful and kind heart. We thank him for the beauty that he brought into the lives he touched. We thank him for the wisdom and gentleness in which he guided our daughter. We thank him for his thoughtfulness, sincerity, love and joy he brought into this world. Our heartfelt sympathy. Neal and Jeri Hagiwara

Dear Guyette Family,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Josh and I graduated from St. Linus together. I have many wonderful memories of him. He was such a kind and caring person. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

My deepest condolences to your family. I was very fortunate to meet Joshua on the interview trail in Colorado. He went out of his way to get to know me and make me feel comfortable during the day. He had recently interviewed in Hawaii and I had yet to... he didn't hesitate to reassure and encourage me. I’ll never forget that he smiled when he told me I had some pleasant surprises in store for me in Hawaii, but he didn’t want to ruin them by letting me know just then. He was very insightful and friendly. It's heartbreaking for me to imagine that the many patients he had been preparing to serve for so long will never know him, but I believe his memory and legacy will forever inspire and deeply motivate those of us who did.

To the Guyette Family,
Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your Love One. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
The Frank McGuire Family

I wish to extend my heartfelt condolences on the bereavement caused by the untimely death of Joshua. I pray for his soul to rest in peace. May God bless the Guyette Family during this very difficult time. (I was looking forward to be working as fellow psychiatric residents with Joshua).

Our warmest thoughts and consolation are with you and your family at this time.

Jimmy Akintonde.

To the Guyette's,

I am saddened to hear about the passing of Josh. I remember going to the St. Linus basketball practices when my dad coached all the way back when I was in 1st grade. Josh was a great guy.

Ron Nelson Family,

I had the pleasure of knowing Josh through high school and college. I also had the opportunity to be one of his college roommates our sophomore year. We had a lot of good times together and shared a lot of laughs. Josh was a great guy who will be dearly missed.

Dear Guyette Family,

Josh and I met during our first year of medical school and he quickly became one of my dearest friends. Not only was he caring, compassionate, and empathetic, but he also had a great sense of humor. My boyfriend, Bryan, and I seemed to do everything with Josh. We joked that he was our "Dupree". Over the years he also got to know my family and they adored him.

I feel honored to have had such a wonderful person in my life and I will cherish the memories of the time we spent together. He was truly a "forever" friend and I cannot put into words how much I will and already do miss him.

I am truly sorry for your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you can find some comfort in knowing how many lives he touched and how many people loved him. You raised a truly amazing son and he will be forever in my heart.

You will be sadly missed by your friends at Rush. My heart goes to your family.

I graduated with Josh at marist in 2001. although we never really hung out outside of school or after we graduated, he was always kind and easy to talk to when i sat near him in the classes we had together. the story that sticks out for me is we needed an extra player for our basketball intramural team one day or we would have to forfeit. my friend Chris and I drove home, thinking there was no one else we could ask. on our way, we saw josh cutting his grass and figured we'd ask if he wanted to play, not expecting a yes. to our surprise, josh said yes and stopped what he was doing to play for our team. i do not remember if we won or lost, that doesn't matter. what matters is the heart, character, and unselfishness he displayed that day, something that i remember nearly 10 years later. my thoughts and prayers are with all his family and friends. he will be missed greatly.

Josh,
Your parents, brothers and sister are all in my thoughts at this very moment. I spent so much time with you at St. Linus, Marist High School, and Beverly Country Club. Even though we have not talked in quite some time, know that I am very saddend of your loss. You were such an amazing person that had a positive impact on the lives of so many people. Know that I will never forget you. Lots of your fellow classmates from Linus have been reminiscing about you these past few days. I certainly can tell you brought much cheer and many smiles to their lives. Rest in peace my friend. Your family will continue to be in my prayers.

Dear Guyette Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Josh was one of the most sincere, kindest, gentlest people that I have ever known. He is forever in our hearts.

Love,
Meg O'Grady-Hense

Josh was always a fierce, but fair competitor. It was a pleasure playing with him or against him. He will be missed.

I attended several classes with Josh while at Marist. He was a great young man to be around and he will be missed by many. Your family is in my prayers during this difficult time.

I didn't know Josh, but he was the president of PGN when my daughter pledged and she thought so much of him. Please accept our condolences and deepest sympathy. Jane Westerhold

To the family of Joshua J. Guyette,

My deepest sympathy and condolences go out to you all. Although I only had the privilege of spending one day getting to know Josh during his interview day at the University of Hawaii, his kindness, compassion and easy-going spirit were unmistakable. I was so looking forward to working with him as a fellow resident in the program and getting to know him better. I am profoundly saddened by the news of his passing, and I will be praying for those who were honored to have known Josh more closely.

With peace and sympathy,

To the Family and Friends of Josh Guyette,
My name is Jamilah and I am one of Josh's med school classmates. Although I did not have the pleasure of knowing Josh on a more personal level, I was quite impressed how he would at least nod and acknowledge my presence when we would cross paths in the halls of the hospital. I am sorry for this unexpected loss of Josh. I hope you find solace and support in the words of others as time will eventually mend all wounds.

Dear Guyette Family,
My family and I had the privelege of getting to know Josh over the past few years. My sister Courtney considered him one of her best friends in Med School and I understand why. He was so caring, fun, smart and just a joy to be around. I recently moved to Hawai'i and on hearing the news that Josh was moving here soon made me super excited knowing I could spend more time with him. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers, and Josh will be forever in our hearts.

Josh, Malama pono a hui hou

Jim and Mary Jo-
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Guyette Family: We wish to offer you our deepest condolences on the loss of Josh. Our daughter Courtney and her boyfriend Bryan considered Josh their best friend at Rush Medical School. The three of them were always together, and because of this, we also had the privilege of knowing Josh. We have many happy memories of spending time with your very special young man. He was always so kind, so caring and so easy to be with. He sat with us last year all through his friends' graduation from Rush, and we were looking forward to being there this year for him. We hope you will receive some comfort in knowing how many people Josh touched in his positive, gentle way, and how many people loved him.

Our prayers are with you, and your whole extended family. I hope you find comfort in thinking of the times you shared with Joshua, and knowing he is in a better place.

Dear Drew, I am truly sorry for your lost. My prayers will indeed go up to you and your family. God is with you. God Bless you. Wendy Peyton (Madison Capital)

I first met Josh in college at U of I. Josh was a couple years older than I. He embodied everything that I strived to become, and I always considered him a great mentor. Moreso, he was a friend. I have met very few people who possess this unique combination of being someone who you can look up to but also stand next to. Josh -- you will be dearly missed.

Jim, Mary Jo and family, may he rest in peace and look over all of us. Please know that God is guiding all of us in this difficult time. Please let me know if you need anything at all.

The entire staff and I want to express our sincere condolences to the Guyette family on your recent loss.

Sincerely,
