Click 2 Houston --HOUSTON -- A 20-year-old Elsik High School graduate has been killed in Iraq, KPRC Local 2 reported Saturday.

Army Spc. Joshua Molina was killed Thursday. The Department of Justice said Molina died in Baghdad, Iraq, of wounds suffered when his vehicle encountered an improvised explosive device.

The news numbed his family.

"Two sergeants came and we just broke down. We couldn't believe it," brother Manuel Molina said.

He said he spoke to his brother earlier in the week and remembered their last conversation clearly.

"I told him I loved him and he would be in my prayers like always. I wasn't expecting this days later after that call he was going to be dead," said Molina.

The family does not have many details surrounding Molina's death. They do know he fought to stay alive.

"He was still alive trying to stay alive. Sadly, he couldn't and I have a feeling that God needed another angel. He's up there looking at me, my whole family. Everything is going to be OK," the younger brother said.

The Molinas are a tight knit family. They were fortunate to have Josh home back in January. Now, they must hold on to those memories to get through their most difficult hours.

"I think this is what he wants for his whole family to be together one, one family and remember the good times," Molina said.

Molina was the fourth Elsik High School graduate to be killed while serving in the war in Iraq.

He was remembered as the man who liked to have fun and as someone who was always smiling. His family said he wanted to be in the military since he was a child.

"Since he was a little kid he liked to play war and guns and we would just play around. He loved the military, especially the U.S. Army," said Molina.
