Joshua Saculla Obituary

May 24, 1988 - July 3, 2016

Joshua James Saculla, age 28, of Bryan, Texas, passed away July 3, 2016. He was born May 24, 1988 in Bryan, Texas and where he resided as well. Funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. Thursday, July 7 at Central Baptist Church. Visitation will begin at 9:30 a.m. at the church. Interment will follow at Mt. Calvary Cemetery.

Josh received his wings to be with the Lord all too soon, doing what he loved to do. He will be remembered for his infectious smile, incredible personality, looks, charm and loving spirit he had for everyone.

Josh worked various jobs during the week to make his entry fees and follow his dream on the weekends. Josh's passion was to ride bulls professionally. He left us doing what he loved. His love for the Lord was incredible; his father Johnny said he would always catch him reading is Bible when he was home. He was a simple man with a carefree spirit. Josh had a love for his nieces and nephews like you wouldn't believe. He called them his babies. Family gatherings were always a pleasure with Josh being present. You would find him either playing with the kids, eating, or sleeping. He lit up a room with his southern charm and breath taking smile.

When you think of Josh, please remember him for his love for life, his love for the ones around him and his faith in God. Celebrate him in your memories and live as he did for Jesus...to the fullest.

Josh AKA Squash will forever be missed and his legacy will live on forever.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Anthony "AJ" and Marjorie Lee Saculla, and Gloria Merle White.

Josh is survived by his parents, John A. and Polly D. Saculla; sister, Kim Seay and her husband Jimmy; brother, Cody Saculla and his wife Stephanie; sister, Lizzy Matejka and her husband Patrick; nieces, Zaili Saculla, Dally Rose Saculla, Aubrey Matejka; nephews, Laramie Matejka, Colten Roberts and Jacob Seay; great-nieces, Courtlyn and Emma Roberts; grandfather, Earl White better known by his grandchildren "Tauber"; as well as aunts, uncles, numerous cousins and many, many friends!

But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40: 31
