Christine, thank you for sharing and keeping Josh's memory alive. May he rest in peace or cook up a storm wherever he is. All the best to you too, you are wonderful! This glimpse into the past has definitely pulled some heartstrings. Josh Marks will forever be remembered in his truest persona, that determined, passionate and gentle giant. No better words to express, but anyhow my dear, XOXO. Josh Marks will forever be remembered in his truest persona, that determined, passionate, gentle giant.
No words to express better…anyhow my dear, XOXO. I remember when you guys were on that season, of course I think the best season , and i sent you a message that you made me cry all the time, and i wasn't gay, not-that-there's-anything wrong-with-that. You took the time to reply and remarked on the Seinfeld reference. Dave from Buffalo. Christine, in honoring your friend, comrade chef, Josh, you continue to keep his memory alive,,, you do this with a heart full of love,, I believe if there were more people like you in this world it would truly be a better place..
I do know from my heart that mental illness is a very tough problem,,, a huge swing,, a very troubling situation,, times when one feels like there will never be an end to the madness that one goes through while dealing with mental illness. There are so many types of mental illness,, and yes it's a tough one,,, I suffer from constant ,, and constantly look for the good in each day of my life,, I have so many things to be grateful for, 2 grown children, 3 granddaughters that are beautiful young ladies,,, everything to be happy about..
You and Josh were my favorites and I know I was going to be happy whoever won. I have only been a fan and reading what happened to Josh saddens me. Thank you, despite being stranger, for remembering Josh this way. For remembering the best of him rather than the bad ones. Watching Josh on the show, you could tell he was a special person. His amazing cooking skill and the way he carried himself in a humbled manor made me a fan.
Wish he was still here. Tragic loss. Love both you so. I remembered all of you, special is final round. You looked at him and smile: It's mine, baby. Each story or each competition in MC season 3 became my effort. Josh is a special person. I'm so sad. Cry for him. Hope him always smile and happy wherever he lives.
Even in heaven. Good memory. The funny thing is, when I said those words to him at the finale before we cooked, it was only because I was told to say something about wanting to win, and the smile on my face was really me trying to stifle a giggle because I found it ridiculous for me to say so.
Yes, I wanted to win, but in my head, I was really thinking, May the best cook win. If the title were to have gone to Josh, I would've been disappointed but still happy for him. Josh was clearly a beautiful soul. I only speculate that he struggled deeply within his own life. Christine you were a loving friend to him and this is an example of how your gifting brings inspiring light to others, especially those that truly need it.
It is tragic that a wonderful man was stolen from us but I would say the life and sparkle in you undoubtedly gave him innumerable moments of genuine joy, laughter, and critical escape from the darkness that clouded over him. For certain, you made a difference. I enjoyed your tribute to Josh and I also appreciated the link to the Chicago magazine article on his life.
That really helped fill in the blanks for me, as most of the news coverage I saw last Summer and Fall focused on Josh's encounter with the police and his incoherent references to Gordon Ramsay, which obviously were only a very tiny part of Josh's troubles, and just a sideshow compared to the significant mental illness that was taking over his life.
I want to express my sympathy to Josh's family and friends. I know you've all lost someone special. I read the news about Josh in June this year on Twitter by chance, and once again by chance I found your tribute to Josh. For someone who only knew Josh from watching masterchef, the news of his passing is really shocking and sad, and I am sure for his family and friends, the pain of losing him is greater than words can express, and even after a year has passed, are still grieving his loss.
Thank you for sharing this tribute to Josh, a special and talented individual. Let's cherish all the best memories of Josh, and may he rest in peace. I am really shocked to know the fact…. I am just watching your episode with master chef in Spain.
I was moved how amazed and beautiful you are…. However I have experiences of those darkness over 10 years… so I just cannot stop crying that he went away now… Everyone has a chance to be in the darkness. That is not a rare thing I feel.
But it is also possible to be better as long as being here. It cannot be zero but it is able to live together. There is a chance even though it cannot be seen in the darkness once. I just deeply feel sad… so so sad…. I had no idea till I read your blog today. I am saddened. Still confused as to why he would do that….? Well thank for honoring his memory as he seemed like a nice person on the show. That's all I have to refer too. Wei, Yua-han. May Josh continue to live on in the hearts of his friends, family and fans.
