The Comsewogue Athletic Department officially retired the soccer jersey of No. 11, Joshua Butzke.

Joshua graduated from Comsewogue in 2010 and tragically lost his life this past January in a skydiving accident.

He was arguably the best soccer player at Comsewogue and was four-time all-league, three-time all-conference, two-time all-county, two-time first team all-state and a two-time all-region player.

He lead his team to back-to-back state championships in 2008 and 2009.

Joshua is survived by his parents, Rich and Lorraine, and siblings Eva and Samantha. Both Joshua and Samantha will be inducted into the Comsewogue Hall of Fame on October 6.
