I first met Javier when I listed my childhood home in Granada Hills.  I was heartbroken to do so. My mom have lived there since 1959.  His mom brought him to see the house.  We had 13 offers, some higher than his but my mom and I knew he was the one we wanted to have the house.  By the end of the transaction we were happy to turn the keys over to him.   8 years later my new husband and i were moving out of state and my mom had passed away.   I wanted to go by and say goodbye to our little house where my mom had lived for 46 years on Tulsa Street. Javi was outside and invited me in.  He introduced me to his roommate and wanted to know all about the history of the house which i shared with him.  He told me how much he loved his home and was so proud of the upgrades he had made but it still reflected the original character I loved. I hugged him goodbye and my heart was happy to know as i left that someone loved my childhood home as much as i did.  I kept in contact through the years with neighbors who still lived on the street and they all loved him and spoke so highly of him.  He never knew how he touched my life.  What a kind and caring person he was.
  Sending my deepest sympathy to his family and friends.  What a deep deep loss.

I also worked with Javier at the ET Adventure at Universal in the early 1990's. He was a great coworker and friend. My prayers to Javi's family and all who knew him. He was and is a great guy!

I heard this news today.   I worked with Javier at Universal back in the day.   He was sweet, caring and respectful.   Although we didn’t keep in touch, I remember those times well.  
Sending my love and condolences to his family.  🙏🏼❤️

I met Javi at USH in the early 90’s. He always showed me great grace, patience, and friendship.  He was an example in kindness and perseverance. He made everyday brighter.  He will be missed. My sincere condolences to his family. 🙏

My deepest sympathie to the Recalde  family there are no words to say how sad  I feel for their loss I have known them forever and consider them family I loved Javi  my thoughts and prayers are with u every day love Nancy 

My sincere condolences to your family. Javier was a man that wasn't scared to stand up for what he believed in. He was passionate about his family and his upcoming career. He was an outstanding student, a mentor to many. His humor would catch you off guard sometimes, "is he serious right now". He played it off so well it made you think about it. I know he will be missed by so many. I was looking forward to seeing him excel in his new roles as a technologist. His passion for people and life  shined through in all he did. Graduation is a time of celebration for the student but as the teacher, for me it is a time I get to meet those individuals behind the scenes, family.  Unfortunately, we didn't get to have that moment this year but I feel like I know much about his wife and dogs. I am really still at a lose of words, as I am sure many are. Javier will be remembered by anyone that has met him. Our time together was short but your impact will last. 

Mi Javito Bonito
My favorite person , you’re smile will always be in my heart.     Love you with all my heart

You’re pacholita 

I met Javier when I had surgery last year. He worked at the hospital and Chrissy worked with my daughter Susie.  He came in to the room and introduced himself.  He ask if I had got food yet. I replied no I am starving. He snuck in a cheese roll from Portos . but Javi has a special something about him. His presence wasn't heavy.  He had a ora a good vibe I don't know how to explain it other than an Angel in disguise. May you fly high Javi. Watch over your family. May you Rest In Peace. My deepest and most Sincere Condolences to Chrissy and his Family. ❤💚💜💙💛💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I met Javier in school and we had been friends throughout the whole journey. Always a practical joker I would always have to question whether or not he was pranking me or not. He also had the gift of gab always getting free stuff or free Lakers tickets or free food. He just had a way with words. He called me when he was In the hospital to let me know he was sick but I could of never imagined him not pulling through. When Chrissy let me know you passed, man it really hard. I remember javi gave me a lot of Halloween stuff one year so I threw a party but no trick or treaters came so we all walked around the neighborhood scaring all my neighbors. Good times. gonna miss you bro rest in paradise.

Javi, my dear Javi, you will always have a special place in my heart....I feel so blessed and fortunate to have spent my childhood with you....you were the closest family member to me and felt you were my little brother... my earliest memories are also the fondest...days that would never end...you me and all the cousins piled on the bed watching TV while our parents danced the night away, playing with toy soldiers in Cowboy and Sarita's house, running around and playing tag with you, Margie ,Jessy and Paola till dark, then pool parties, holidays, tennis, Tommy's, frozen yogurt runs, sega genesis, UNO, 40! (don't forget the doritos and coke!)...some of the best times of my life have been with you....and you were always there for my sister Margie, she loved you even more than I can say, like a brother, and she would do anything for you...thank you for being with her, showing the care and love you did when she went thru her ordeal.   I know you were hurt just as much as I was, but time slowly tempered the hurt and sense of loss...but here I find myself again, 25 years later...feeling the same as I did then, grieving for your Mom, Miriam, Tony and Crissy....as the youngest you represnt the future, hopes and dreams...plans, expectations, promises, memories, wishes...what do we do with these feelings when you're gone?  How can I ever tell you I wished to see more of you? make up for lost time? bring back those brotherly times that we had so often when we were young, but became less frequent...how can I say I love you and know you'll hear me and understand?.... by keeping you in my heart, learning from you and your positive attitude on life...no one I know, family or not, has your personality, you left a mark on everyone who met you and we will no doubt keep your memory alive...at many more family get togethers and any opportunity we get to remember you with friends...Javmeister!!
Please give Margie a huge hug from me and my parents...WE LOVE YOU JAVI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mano,
You lived your life to the fullest and in doing so you shared your unique, charming and joyful personality with everyone that crossed your path. I am eternally grateful for the endless memories that will always live in our hearts. The time came for you to share your gifts with those in heaven. 

Will always love you. So long Mano 🤗

Dear Javi,
There are not enough words. You have always been a ray of sunshine. I have to say I totally believed you had a guitar collection. You got me so good as I’m sure I was not the only one! I’m going to miss hearing your laughter, seeing your luminous smile, and hearing you sing Christmas carols at the family Christmas party. You were always full of love and joy, there was never a dull moment. I’m beyond grateful for the times we shared, keeping all the memories close to my heart forever. Miss you & love you always. 
- Luisa 

Crissy & Family,
My deepest condolences, I love you all. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. 

To my Uncle, partner in crime, and best friend.
Since I was born you were by my side making me laugh and making sure all of the cousins were having fun at your house. Like Tony said you were the biggest kid of us all at the family sleep overs. From playing x box to growing older and playing poker we were always having the best times. I’ll never forget spending countless hours in the month of October setting up your haunted house. I would always tell my friends about it and everyone would look forward to coming. Growing up the month of October was my favorite month and it was all because of the time I was able to spend by your side scaring everyone we could. Every holiday we spent was shared with laughter and joy because of the stories you would tell and we promise to keep your attitude and humor alive as best we can. I can go on for days about the fun we had but I’ll save those when I’m by your side again.
I have a big Cuban cigar ready to go with your name on it. 

I love you forever. 

Javier, I enjoyed meeting you briefly in 1999 during my visit to California for Jessica and Freddy's blessing on their home, you were jovial and very kind. You will be missed by everyone especially your family and friends. 
By watching your life video and listening to your family's tribute I could tell you have touched many people's hearts during your time on  earth including mine.
 Thank you for sharing your love,  kindness and making a difference in all of our lives .
Love
Norma Sessions and family 

Javier “dad”,
I had the pleasure of getting to know him over the last two years at our time at Gurnick. He was one of the most genuine and caring persons I have ever met. He was one of a kind with all his dad jokes and stories that related to everything and everyone. “Dad” would always call me his “mijo” everywhere we went and made sure to embarrass me like a real dad but was always available to talk to and ask for advice when the time came. I’ll never forget all our adventures during our externship and lunch dates. 

To Crissy, family, and friends I send my deeps condolences and prayers. May Javier Rest In Peace. Love you “dad”

Javy, 
Where to even start. So many beautiful, fun, crazy memories with you. From camping with the family, to super bowl parties to just going over to chat and have a drink.. these are memories that will forever live in my heart. Thank you for the laughs, the sarcasm, and the scares. Your haunted houses were unlike any other and I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to experience those with you and the family. I will always think of you as the “fun uncle” I was lucky to meet and have in my life... I will always remember the sparkle in your eye when you spoke of Crissy and how much of a hype man you were to every single meal she made for you (most recently her chili and ceviche).. the love you have for the girl.. man, it’s like no other. 

I wish we could have kept you to ourselves longer, but God had other plans. I’m sure you’re busting jokes up in heaven making everyone laugh. 
In your honor, like you once told me.. I will enjoy every day with a light heart and not take things too serious.. I will make someone laugh whenever possible. 
I miss you, I love you and will forever keep our memories close to my heart. 


To the Recalde family and Crissy, I love each of you and please reach out if I can do anything, at ANY time. My deepest condolences and I’m keeping you all in my prayers. 

Javier was awesome person and great friend. We spent a lot off time in Mission Community Hospital during our clinical hours. We was a great team. Unfortunately  i don't have a lot of pictures with him but i always will remember him in my memory. Javier always support people around him. He made me smile and he helped me to pass my citizenship exam... it  was so funny but he asked me tonnes of history questions and get me ready for exam... thank you for being a part of  my life and thank you for being my friend. 

Javi and How I’ll always remember you! Javi and Chrissy always completed each other! From greeting us at their door and welcoming us into their home. We build memories and stories to always remember and share! Poker, cigars, moonshine, and laughs! From tricking me to go see his air guitar collection to showing me how to mix a proper cocktail!You’ll forever be in our hearts as the jokester and fun loving guy you were! Chrissy I’m here for you whenever you need me! I love you and loved Javi! Your family is in my prayers and hope you know we love you! May you rest in paradise brother !! -Eileen

I am an administrator at the school where Javier attended. He always bright sunshine to our day. Always with a good attitude, smiling and making the most of each day. He studied hard and took his schooling serious. I’m so happy to have known him and I am very sad to learn about his sudden passing. My condolences to his family. 

Deepest condolences to the family, Javier was a very professional and  empathetic student  who will be missed by us here at Gurnick Academy where he graduated. We are very stunned and saddened of his passing and pray to God that his resting place is in one of his mansions.
