Javier Espinoza, age 64, of Fort Wayne, Indiana passed away on Friday, January 7, 2022. He was born March 2, 1957 in La Piedad, Mexico to Isaias Espinoza and Madelos Angeles Leon. Javier knew no strangers which was demonstrated through his easy demeanor. He loved cars and owned an automotive dealership in Mexico prior to his immigration to the United States which fueled his passion for Formula 1 racing. In his youth, he also loved his motorcycles; Ana recalls many rides, hanging on for dear life. Javier was a devoted fan of Club Deportivo Guadalajara, always rooting for Chivas. He could also be found listening to the various genres of music but was especially fond of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Tony Bennett, Neil Diamond, Elvis Presley, John Lennon and The Beatles, and Whitney Houston. Javier was an adventurous spirit when it came to dining and rarely found seafood he didn't enjoy . . . oysters, shrimp, lobsters, and shellfish! Javier is survived by his beloved wife of thirty-six years, Ana Maria Salazar de Espinoza; children, Luis J. (Evelyn) Espinoza, Christian O. (Samantha) Espinoza, Stephanie Espinoza, and Giovanni R.
