Josiah Li’Shon Byard was born on April 16, 2000 to Brandy Byrd and Alshon Carter, both of Griffin, Georgia.
Josiah graduated from Pike County High School in 2018. Since graduating he has written three (3) published books, and wrote thirteen (13) songs, and featured in many other songs with other artists. He started his own business, “Zodiac Productions”, which has blossomed into many other companies, brands of marketing, and investment opportunities. Each day Josiah would inspire his friends and family to save, invest, and do anything else they could to make a better life for themselves.
On Thursday, June 10, 2021, Josiah was taken from us much too soon. Although we may never understand or be free from the pain, we know that Josiah will live forever in spirit and in our hearts. He will be right there by our sides; pushing us to do better, just as he did in life.
Those left to cherish the memory of Josiah are his (mother) Brandy Byard and (father) Alshon Carter; (sisters): Nadiyah Byard, and TaQuanna Jester; (brothers): Elijah Goodrum, and Jeremiah Grier; (Grandmother): Sherry Byard (James Johnson), (Aunt): Wendy Byard; (Special Cousins): Kayli Long, Jordan Long, Kaydence Anderson, and Eastyn Corbin; (Godparents): Willis and Chaka Gillian; special aunts and uncles of FFC, and a host of other relatives and friends. He is now in Heaven with his Mawmaw and Aunt Deb.
