Joseph Isaiah "JJ" Jaimes, age 9, passed away on May 15, 2022 surrounded by his family at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, TX. "JJ" spent a lot of time there due to his battle with leukemia and he fought incredibly hard until the end.
"JJ" was born on April 14, 2013, to parents Marco & Matilda Jaimes. He is survived by his parents, his brothers Marco Jr. & Noah Jaimes, his grandmother Sylvia Castillo, grandmother Maria L. Jaimes, grandfather Ramon Jaime, his uncle Manuel Castillo III, uncle Aden Jamies, uncle Jesse Guzman, uncle Edward (aunt Jennifer G.) Guzman, aunt Patricia (uncle Jesse) Martinez, aunt Crystal (uncle David) Muños, aunt Melanie Castillo, aunt Cassandra Wimberly and cousins Kimberly L. Guzman, Jacob A. Martinez, Ava J. Martinez & Emma G. Martinez and many more aunts, uncles & cousins.
He is preceded in death by his grandfather (Popo) Manuel Castillo Jr.
Some of the things "JJ" enjoyed the most were spending time with his brothers and his dog "Rocky". He had a fascination with watching people eat different types of foods on Youtube, and one of his favorite channels was "Ryan's World". He loved online shopping, collecting rocks and dinosaurs. Pokemon, Peppa Pig, Paw Patrol, Mortal Kombat and Sonic were also among his favorite characters and shows/movies. Not to mention he was a huge Star Wars fan, particularly, of "Baby Yoda".
He had several nicknames such as "JJ", "Jojo", "Joey" (which only his dad had permission to call him), "Jay" & "Dodo". He was incredibly loved and always surrounded by his family. No matter what he was going through or how difficult things were, his priority was always ensuring that everyone else around him was okay. He had such a beautiful heart and joy that will undoubtedly be missed forever.
JJ's visitation will take place on Tuesday, May 24th from 6:00pm - 9:00 pm, as well as Funeral & Burial Service on Wednesday, May 25th at 10:00am at Brookside Funeral Home, 13747 Eastex Fwy, Houston, TX, 77039.
