Joshua Martin Moody

Joshua Martin Moody, 44, of Center, passed away Sunday, March 27, 2022. 

On March 25, 1978, Josh was born to his father, Gary Moody and his mother, JoAnne Moody Cornwall.  In 2002, Josh married Candace Christian, and they had a daughter, Madeline Moody who he called his Princess. In 2008, Josh married the love of his life, Lily. Josh was an accomplished chef and businessman in Houston. He and Lily moved to Center in 2011 and built a great life together with their children, Ryder and Ryan. To know Josh was to love him. He was a friend to all and had countless friends everywhere he went. When seeing Josh, you would always be met with a warm hug. But more than anything, his kids were the center of his world. He would stop whatever he was doing to take them their lunch on a normal school day just so they would know he was thinking about them during the day. Josh had the most generous and loving heart. He would often be seen bringing the teachers breakfast, donating boxes of chips for all of the kids at school, and even buying kids a drink at the ballpark, which is what he did on his very last day on this Earth. Josh was so loved and will be missed by so many.
