In addition to his father, survivors include his stepmother, Diana Sherfey; daughters, Chasity Marie Black, Abigail McKinley Sherfey; grandson, Elliott Christopher Urso; brother, Mark George Mussler; nephew, Caleb Sherfey; paternal grandfather, Dr. Charles Sherfey; several aunts, uncles, and cousins.

The celebration of life service for Josh will be conducted Friday, June 9, 2023, at 7:00 P.M. from the East Chapel of Appalachian Funeral Home with his grandfather, Dr. Charles Sherfey, officiating. The family will receive friends prior to the service from 5:00-7:00 P.M. in the East Parlor of the funeral home.
