Joshua Emmanuel Pham

Joshua Emmanuel Pham, 20, passed away Tuesday evening, January 6, 2015 in College Station, Texas. Not only did he leave behind his organs for donation, he left a legacy of love and joy to all who knew him.

Josh was born March 2, 1994 in Houston, Texas, to Peach Endaluz and Thang Pham. He was the first grandchild for both the Endaluz and the Pham family, and was special in so many ways.

He graduated from Cypress Creek High School in 2012 and soon after, started at Blinn College in College Station, Texas. Josh loved mixed martial arts, football, skim boarding, and spending time with his friends, of whom was countless. Being true to his Asian heritage, he also loved to eat, especially his grandmother's pho. If you asked anyone to describe Josh, the typical response would be that he had a selfless heart and cared about everyone around him. He was a pure soul that graced our lives for 20 years and will never be replaced, never forgotten, loved forever.

Josh is survived by his mother, Peach Endaluz-Pham, his father, Thang Pham, his younger brother, Markus Pham, and his younger sister, Chloey Pham. His extended family is too large to list, but they include great grandparents, grandparents, and an endless list of uncles, aunts, and cousins.

Services will be held at 10am on Wednesday, January 14, at the American Heritage Funeral Home at 10710 Veterans Memorial Dr., Houston, TX 77038. Visitations are Monday, January 12, from 4pm-9pm, and Tuesday, January 13, from 8am-9pm.
