Javiv was born on March 29, 1997 in San Diego, CA, to parents Samira Ochan Othay and Lutfi Saaid Kodi Anglo. He was later nicknamed Koko, which stuck with him throughout his life. In 1999 the family moved to Minnesota, where Javiv attended Hayes Elementary, Fridley Middle School, and Hopkins Jr. High, ultimately graduating high school from Anoka Technical College.
Javiv's passion in life was creativity. He loved art, drawing, music, instruments, writing, rapping, reading, and filling his mind with knowledge. He co-founded a fashion label called Teflon Beehive when he was 18 years old. He had ambition. He had heart. He had ideas. Javiv was a man who loved showing love and sharing his ideas and knowledge.
He is survived by his mother, Samira Othay; father, Lutfi Anglo; sisters, Mary Abella and Akello Odole; brothers, Obang Odole and Fathy Angelo; and his niece, Kaylani Lester. His memory will forever live on through our hearts.

Romans 8:38-39 (New International Version) For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
