They also give TMZ insight into their final conversations, noting … “One of the last things he said was to keep God first at all times. You have to be real with yourself before you can be real with anybody else.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Joshua’s close friend Emmanuel Hurd<\/strong> told TMZ earlier Wednesday morning he was “a very honest, real person.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

As you know, Joshua rose to fame in 2008 when he competed on the 4th season of ‘SYTYCD’. He won the season, with the late Stephen “tWitch” Boss<\/strong> coming in 2nd place.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

He continued dancing over the years, and starred in 2010\u2019s “Step Up 3D” and 2011\u2019s “Footloose” remake … plus appeared in a 2011 episode of “American Horror Story.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

He got into some trouble in 2016 when he was charged with domestic violence, and ended up in the slammer for a year in 2017.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Joshua was 36 years old.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
