He was born on December 9, 2019 at Valley Baptist Medical Center Brownsville, TX, weighing 9lbs 1oz. Javier was diagnosed with an extremely rare genetic disorder PIGA-CDG at 2 months of age.

During his short life, Javier enjoyed listening to music, taking baths, playing with his sister, and being held close by his parents and grandparents. He was deeply loved by his parents, sister and everyone who met him.
