'Josh fought every single day for most of his adult life, for his life, but this past Sunday, the challenge was too great.'
Peterson wrote that her son's 'childhood was filled with deep intellect, humor, pranks, athletics, snowboarding, body boarding, mountain hikes, reading, friends and his love for music.'
She said that 'even during adult hardship, Josh continued to maintain his sense of humor, continued to be optimistic, continued to be kind to others, defended those that were unable to defend themselves and continued to love his family so so much!'
Waring's sister Ashley Zarlin took to Instagram April 6 with a series of images of her and her sibling throughout the years, saying that she lost her 'brother to the relentless grip of addiction.'
She added, 'It’s a disease that distorts and destroys, leaving behind shattered dreams and broken hearts.'
Zarlin credited Peterson for her 'unwavering love and tireless efforts to support' Waring amid his addiction battle, adding that she wishes she 'could have done more, been more, to help him find his way back to the light.'
Zarlin added, 'He was brilliant and had limitless potential, but addiction veered him off course.
'My heart aches for the lost opportunities for us to grow together as adults, to share laughter and dreams, the conversations that we will never get to have, and the dreams that will be left unfulfilled.'
