Joshua's obituary

Joshua Alan Burdeaux, age 47, passed away unexpectedly on January 9th, 2022. Josh was the only child born to Martin and Julie Burdeaux (Miller) on September 20, 1975. Josh grew up in and around southeast Houston and graduated Valedictorian of his class from South Houston High School. Josh then attended the University of Houston, studying music. In 2008, he married his lifelong love, Shanyn (Hughes) in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in South Padre Island. They made their home together in Sugar Land, Texas.

Joshua was the life of the party and lived for playing music with his band, as well as attending any live music performances he could. He was a kind person who cared greatly for those around him. His actions often exceeded his words in showing just how much he cared. His family and extended family were the center of his life and he enjoyed spending time with them. He especially enjoyed bonfires, deep sea fishing, hunting and sailing (when he wasn't making music). He is survived by his wife Shanyn of 15 years, and her family, who he was very close to.

At Josh's request, there will not be any formal services, and because of the pandemic, unfortunately we cannot plan any celebrations of his life at this time.

The family requests that any donations made, be made to the Wounded Warrior project, or the Ronald McDonald House; charities he often gave freely to.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.
