Josh was, above all else, a great dad, husband, brother and son. He was an avid musician, and a passionate teacher and school administrator. He loved the outdoors, traveling, and sports (especially the Astros, Rockets, Dynamo and Texans). He especially loved spending time with his wife, family and friends. His greatest accomplishments were his son Dylan, his family, and the legacy that he left with students, faculty and administration at Lanier and Queens Intermediate.
Josh is survived by his loving wife Erika Schwarz, his son Dylan Schwarz, step daughters Kelly Navarro and Samantha Martinez, his mother Delia Schwarz, his father and step mother Don and Brigett Schwarz, his sister and her husband Kristin and Chris Banks, his brother Jeremy Schwarz, his step brother Jessie Cerda, his step sister Shannon Cerda, his niece Katelyn Banks, his nephews Gabriel and Bradley Banks, his Nana Betty Schwarz, and numerous cousins, friends and colleagues.
Josh was a really good friend to all. He found the positive in any situation and was always there if anybody needed him. He always had a smile, or a kind word, for everyone he met. He will be greatly missed by all.
