Josh Forever

May 20th, 2006 - August 26th, 2025

Words were difficult to type. We want to bring light towards a special member of the Zero Heroes community, Joshua.

In June this year, Josh had been admitted to the ICU due to an overdose. A true warrior, he fought bravely for two months before tragically passing away.

Throughout his stay at the hospital, Josh had his older brother’s Crossed Faith Pendant by his side. A token of comfort and strength which was given to him by his older brother, Dylan, during an unimaginably difficult time

We cannot begin to fathom the grief and heartbreak his family and friends have endured. Words and even this email can never provide enough comfort. I first learned about Josh’s story from one of his close friends, Ambar, who reached out to us on Instagram.

Ambar shared the situation and wrote beautifully her connection to Josh, his family and us. I immediately reached out to Dylan.

LONG LIVE JOSH

A moment like this. Put everything into perspective. How much a symbol, a thought, a belief can connect us and empower us. I broke down hearing this news. I cried tears I had never felt. I never had the privilege of meeting Josh. Yet I felt so connected.

Your DMs, we go through every single one. You remind us that what we create isn’t jewelry, it’s a belief. With darkness there is light.

We are not worthy. In Josh’s last moments he held onto our art. It is wrapped around him. Crossed Faith is just a pendant. You have given it meaning and importance. The brand is nothing without you. This is about Josh, his family and you. The Bats.

IN HONOR OF JOSH

We want to honor Josh through a pendant for him. Crossed Faith Onyx. A symbol of strength and protection has been born in honor of Joshua. He embodies the meaning of Onyx, a strong and courageous member of our community. A piece that will honor and protect Josh’s memory. 

We intend to bring awareness to more stories like Josh’s by donating select proceeds from Crossed Faith Onyx sales to the non-profit organization End Overdose, based in Los Angeles.

This organization aims to educate people on drug-related overdose deaths and prevent them. Please visit their website here. 

Our hearts go out to Josh, his family and friends, and everyone who has lost loved ones through Overdose. Please send love in your hearts to Josh’s family and friends for their courage to share their story.

JOSH FOREVER ♥️
