L\u2019un des surnoms de Joshua \u00e9tant enfant \u00e9tait Sunny Boy, lequel allait de pair avec sa personnalit\u00e9 joviale et affectueuse. Dans l\u2019arm\u00e9e, ses camarades l\u2019appelaient Sugar Hips parce que ses poches \u00e9taient toujours remplies de bonbons. Cela ne d\u00e9rangeait pas Joshua, car il ne doutait pas de sa masculinit\u00e9. Il emmenait m\u00eame le caniche de sa m\u00e8re, par\u00e9 d\u2019un ruban mauve, lors de ses courses de 16 km. Jusqu\u2019au jour o\u00f9 le chien \u00e9tait si fatigu\u00e9 que Joshua a d\u00fb le ramener \u00e0 la maison, ce qui a attir\u00e9 l\u2019attention des camionneurs qui passaient par l\u00e0. Ils le klaxonnaient. Joshua avait un bon sens de l\u2019humour qui lui permettait de rire de lui-m\u00eame.<\/p>\n

Joshua a habit\u00e9 un peu partout dans l\u2019Ouest canadien et en Arctique avec sa famille. Il a beaucoup voyag\u00e9 seul et avec l\u2019arm\u00e9. Il est all\u00e9 aux \u00c9tats-Unis, en Bosnie (avec la r\u00e9serve de maintien de la paix), en Afghanistan, en Tha\u00eflande, en Chine, en Europe, en Hongrie et au Royaume-Uni. Il parlait bien le fran\u00e7ais, mais pr\u00e9f\u00e9rait utiliser le \u00ab Pig Latin \u00bb.<\/p>\n

Il n\u2019\u00e9tait pas un amateur de sports d\u2019\u00e9quipe, \u00e0 l\u2019exception du soccer : il en \u00e9tait mordu. Il aimait se lancer dans de nouvelles aventures. M\u00eame s\u2019il ne savait pas nager \u00e9tant enfant, il a obtenu une accr\u00e9ditation pour \u00eatre plongeur en scaphandre autonome en eau libre en Tha\u00eflande. Joshua a \u00e9galement pass\u00e9 son brevet de pilote priv\u00e9 \u00e0 Saskatoon. Il \u00e9tait un meneur naturel et aussi un \u00ab gars de gang \u00bb qui aimait jouer \u00e0 Guitar Hero avec ses amis ou encore faire de la moto ou du camping et boire de la bi\u00e8re.<\/p>\n

Une tradition militaire existait au sein de la famille de Joshua et ce dernier aimait tout ce qui se rapportait aux GI Joe. Il dormait m\u00eame dans son porte-avions GI Joe de pr\u00e8s de 2,5 m de long. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 son imagination, avec sa troupe de GI Joe, il a an\u00e9anti les Barbies de ses s\u0153urs. Plus tard, l\u2019univers de Star Wars l\u2019a attir\u00e9 avec la m\u00eame intensit\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Il a toujours voulu \u00eatre soldat et s\u2019est joint \u00e0 la r\u00e9serve \u00e0 sa sortie de l\u2019\u00e9cole, \u00e0 17 ans. Il gravissait les \u00e9chelons, mais voulait faire quelque chose de plus pour les int\u00e9r\u00eats du Canada. Il a alors grossi les rangs de la Princess Patricia\u2019s Canadian Light Infantry, ce qui signifiait qu\u2019il r\u00e9trogradait dans les rangs, mais il a su remonter la pente rapidement.<\/p>\n

M\u00eame s\u2019il n\u2019\u00e9tait pas un \u00e9rudit et s\u2019ennuyait facilement, l\u2019apprentissage lui est venu naturellement. Il a explor\u00e9 les math\u00e9matiques, les sciences et l\u2019histoire. De C\u00e9sar \u00e0 Hitler, il s\u2019est int\u00e9ress\u00e9 aux strat\u00e9gies militaires (et non politiques) des g\u00e9n\u00e9raux de l\u2019histoire.<\/p>\n

Joshua \u00e9tait aux commandes d\u2019un v\u00e9hicule blind\u00e9 l\u00e9ger III. Ses convictions d\u2019honneur et de loyaut\u00e9 signifiaient qu\u2019il prenait au s\u00e9rieux le fait qu\u2019il \u00e9tait responsable de la vie de ses camarades. Il prenait sa t\u00e2che au s\u00e9rieux. Lorsque sa m\u00e8re lui a demand\u00e9 comment il trouvait son travail, il a r\u00e9pondu : \u00ab C\u2019est de longes p\u00e9riodes d\u2019ennui ponctu\u00e9es de moments de pure terreur. \u00bb<\/p>\n

Joshua consid\u00e9rait l\u2019arm\u00e9e comme sa fraternit\u00e9, mais il \u00e9tait essentiellement un homme de famille. Apr\u00e8s sa derni\u00e8re ronde, il voulait s\u2019enr\u00f4ler dans la GRC, \u00e9pouser sa fianc\u00e9e et \u00e9lever leur enfant \u00e0 na\u00eetre.<\/p>\n
