A video of Ozersky’s last night out, which was filled with drinking and dancing, was posted on Instagram by one jenepelka.
She wrote, “Josh Ozersky’s last night was spent singing karaoke to Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers… it should be no surprise that he went out with a bang. I’m gutted by the sudden loss of the sweetest, funniest, most charming curmudgeon, mensch, and true friend.
“I was with Josh on the night he got 86’ed from @momolongplay, one of his crowning achievements, and feel lucky to have been with him on his last big night… Fly away with me to another world, and we rely on each other, ah ha. Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers would be proud. We miss you so much”.
