Javier "J.P." Perales Sr.

Javier was a hardworking man with a vibrant spirit and a kind heart. He dedicated 20 years of his career to Luna’s Auto Parts and an additional 10 years to A-1 Imports. Outside of work, Javier found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He loved dancing, sharing jokes that would light up a room, and cherishing moments spent with his beloved grandchildren. A passionate tennis enthusiast, Javier also enjoyed the comfort of classic western movies, which brought him much peace and nostalgia.

Javier is preceded in death by his parents, Manuel and Elvira Perales; his brother, Manuel Abelardo Perales; his sister, Sara Alicia Perales; and his grandson, Michael Perales.

He is lovingly remembered by his devoted wife, Elvira A. Perales; his children, Mark A. Perales, Javier A. Perales Jr., and Jessica A. Perales; his eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild; his siblings, Maria E. Martinez, Ricardo Perales, Amelia Perales Rodriguez, Sara A. Martinez, Ramon Perales, and Guadalupe Perez; and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.

Javier’s warm smile, love of life, and unwavering devotion to family will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. The family deeply appreciates your prayers, love, and support during this difficult time.
