Xavier Alejandro Chacon

Xavier Alejandro Chacon, 9 years, of Raytown, Missouri, went home to be with the Lord on July 28, 2012. Visitation will be held from 12:00-1:00 p.m. followed by funeral services at 1:00 p.m. Friday, August 3, at Graceway, 5460 Blue Ridge Cutoff., Kansas City, Missouri 64133. Burial in Mt. Moriah Cemetery South. Xavier was born February 3, 2003 in Kansas City, Missouri. Xavier and his family are members of Graceway, where Xavier accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior on December 4, 2010 and was baptized on January 2, 2011. Xavier attended Southwood Elementary School in Raytown, Missouri, and recently completed the 3rd grade. Xavier's favorite subject in school was Math and his favorite color was Red. Xavier's career ambition was to be a Pastor. He loved to play soccer and kickball, fishing with his dad and brothers, and listening to gospel music. Xavier had a heart for those in need, particularly the homeless. Whenever riding with his mother and they would see a homeless person standing on the street corner, Xavier would always want to give them what money he had in his pocket. Xavier awaits the heavenly arrival of his amazing parents, Hector and Rosa Chacon; his loving sister Joselyn Chacon; his two awesome brothers Eduardo and Brandon Chacon; a wonderful paternal grandmother Martha Cerna; his warm-hearted maternal grandparents Maria and Luis Gamez; one gorgeous niece Yasmine Gonzalez; and a host of caring uncles, aunts, cousins and dedicated friends.

When God calls little children to dwell with Him above,

We mortals sometime question the wisdom of His love.

For no heartache compares with the death of one small child

Who does so much to make our world, seem wonderful and mild

Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold,

So He picks a rosebud, before it can grow old.

God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but few

To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view.

Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try,

The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye."

So when a little child departs, we who are left behind

Must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to find.
