Josh Gilchrist
MySpace Reveals Information About Teen:
Josh Gilchrist was a 16-year-old kid who killed his mother, 49-year-old Betty Jo Gilchrist, with a sword. He swung the sword at police hitting an officer who in turn shot and killed Gilchrist. So far no motive was given for the murder but the article states that friends leaving messages on Gilchrist’s MySpace should have been a sign that something was wrong with Gilchrist. Here is Gilchrist’s MySpace. For some reason he claimed that he was 22.

i wrote what that on joshs myspace. i actually did cry. i just didnt want to write that and have a bunch of ppl knowing. im weird that way. but im sure not many huron kids go to this website and read about josh. y would they..they didnt kno him. at least not that way i did. hed randomly come up and give me hugs. he was so sweet. i actually had a little crush on him. but only my 2 best friends new. he really was a beautiful person. no one can change that. im not exactly sure y this happened and everyday i wish it would have been me instead of him, but i cant possibly ever think badly of him. and if anybody can think badly of him then those ppl obviously dont kno what they r missing. when i first found out at 7:40 that morning, i just couldnt believe it. i used to think that the ppl who didnt kno him were lucky, they didnt lose much. but then i thought, no im the lucky one, i got the chance to kno someone so amazing and i got a friend that took care of me. he was wonderful. i miss him so much. its been 3 weeks and 2 days since he died. his b-day was on friday the 16 this month. his golden year 2. it really sucks he wasnt able to celebrate it with us. i still love u josh no matter what! stay true to urself and to the Lord.

Yeah, so Josh was my friend and I could waste my time explaining to you how amazing he was, but you’re really not worth it. You never met him and you never will. What happened hurt the whole town, but most of all his best friend. None of us know why it happened. But we are now forced with knowing that it did. We have to move on with our lives, but no one will ever forget him. The name Josh Gilchrist will forever be in our memories, but more than that Josh will be in our hearts. We all loved him, but that couldn’t stop the Lord from calling him home. He wasn’t a bad kid, just a normal teenager. So yeah, you can read into what other people said to him. You can even look as his responses. But you’ll never know that goofy guy that loved his bass and always had a smile for you. God Bless!
