Josh is a deceased member of the Minutemen in 2287.

Background[]

Josh was among the Minutemen squad under Colonel Hollis during the Quincy Massacre. When Clint, a 10-year veteran of the Minutemen, betrayed them, Josh was one of the few Minutemen that escaped with Preston Garvey's group, with others including Emma and Anthony. They survived all the way until Lexington, where the group briefly stayed. Emma and Josh left ahead of the group for an unspecified task, with the others assuming they would be in Concord after finishing their task.[1] However, they chose to go back to Lexington, finding the Super Duper Mart empty and the group missing (chased away by feral ghouls, unbeknownst to them).[2]

After investigating what had happened, they discovered Anthony's remains and feral ghoul corpses and deduced what had happened. Before leaving, Josh opted to reenter the building to take care of some final affairs, including handling Anthony's remains, while sending Emma to the loading docks to wait for him. However, he was soon attacked by the ferals.[1][3] Neither Josh nor Emma made it out alive, with Josh dying in the back of the building and Emma killed in the loading docks.

    The Sole Survivor: "Minutemen? So now I'm traveling backward in time?"
    Preston: ""Protect the people at a minute's notice." That was the idea. So I joined up, wanted to make a difference. And I did, but... things fell apart. Now it looks like I'm the last Minuteman left standing."
    The Sole Survivor: "Who are these people?"
    Preston: "Just folks lookin' for a new home. A fresh start. I've been with 'em since Quincy. Lexington looked good for a while, but the Ghouls drove us outta there. A month ago, there were 20 of us. Yesterday there were 8. Now, we're 5. It's just me, the Longs - Marcy and Jun - that's old Mama Murphy on the couch. And this here's Sturges."
