Born on May 2, 2014 to Anthony McIntyre and Maria Castillo. He was a first grade student at Madge Griffith Elementary. He enjoyed spending time with his family and playing outside every chance he got. He loved having nerf gun wars and watching wrestling with his sister and cousins. You could catch him playing baseball any time he could get his hands on a ball or bat. The Houston Astros were his favorite baseball team and Carlos Correa was his favorite player. Josiah had a contagious smile and could make anyone smile. He gave the warmest hugs and loved to help other people.
Josiah is preceded in death by his grandpa, Juan A Castillo; and great-grandpa, Herbert Gonzales Torres.
He is survived by his mother and father; sisters Alayna Flores and Monserrat McIntyre; brother, Anthony Gabriel McIntyre; grandma, Teresa Castillo; grandparents, Ray and Natalie McIntyre.
Funeral services will be Thursday September 17, 2020. The viewing at Lakewood Chapel and mass at St. Jerome's Catholic Church will be private but the burial is open to family and friends. He will be buried at Restwood Cemetery following the mass.
The pallbearers will be David Cantu, Juan Castillo, Bruce Thomas, Randy McIntyre, Aaron McIntyre and Race McIntyre.
Along with honorary pallbearers Emmanuel Cantu, Elijah Cantu, Kaden McIntyre, Steven McIntyre, Anthony Gabriel McIntyre, Ty Perkins and Allen Gordin.
To celebrate the life of Josiah we are encouraging everyone to wear Astros attire.

May the God of peace bless you and keep you as you mourn Josiah. I know you miss him, but he is in the arms of Jesus now. We will all reunite with him one day. In the meantime, I intend to do all I can to help men and women of science discover a way to prevent unnecessary early deaths for people like your son through the fowleri amoeba. The greatest honor we can give Josiah and other victims of the fowleri amoeba is to ensure that nobody else has to endure the loss of a loved one because of it.
Best Regards and Deepest Sympathies,

To all the family and friends of Josiah,
We were shocked to hear of Josiah's death on the news. We do not know you but we are McIntyres too and suddenly felt a kinship. Our grandson Greyson McIntyre is 8 and granddaughter, Adelyn McIntyre is 5. They live in Freeport and have played on the new splashpad in Brenham recently. Many lives will be saved now that water testing is being done everywhere. May God grant you all comfort in this sad tragic time.

My heart goes out to Josiah and his family. Having a 6 year old grandson, hits home to me , even more. I was hoping to see a way I could honor this little Astros Angel. Carlos Correa's tribute to little Josiah is a tribute to the " community " we share with one another in these heart breaking times. Please keep me posted if there is something I can do to show my support 🙏❤️

My condolences to the family Mcintyre and family Castillo. I got know Josiah at baby Anthony first birthday. Josiah was a energetic and play full little boy! I know it's hard to understand why God decided to take him early. But just remember he will always be with you all. You just can't see him and he will wait for you when it's your turn to meet him again. God loves you all! Always remember that.

Anthony, I can not even begin to tell you how sorry I am for you and your whole family. It is obvious that Josiah was beyond special and adored by everyone. I know God had very special plans for him to call him home so early. If you ever need anything just ask. God bless you and keep you during this tragic time.

Ray, Natalie, and Family, If only there was a way to help carry the grief for you and take it away for just a few minutes, you have so many people who love you and would try.
Your family means so much to your community and what a beloved child of Texas was Josiah! He touched lives everywhere he went! Such a beautiful perfect boy; this loss is so tragic, my friends! I am so sorry that you've had to walk this path. Thank you for sharing his pictures and videos. May God bless and strengthen each of you. With love, Brenda
