Frank Javier Madrid, was a 46 year old man who passed on June 29, 2018, leaving behind 5 children, Ryan, Emrie, Yanis, Javier Jr., Gabriel; sisters, Erica, Marti, Kassandra, Xiomara, and Ashley; niece Margarita; nephew Miller Lyte; and his loving parents Frank Madrid and Martha Ramirez. He was the first grandson to both sets of grandparents, Margarita Ramirez, Eduardo Ramirez, Natividad Madrid and Francisco Madrid all in our Savior’s promising hands. Javier also left behind many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
It was often said that there wasn’t a stranger that Frank Javier Madrid didn’t know. Javier always had a smile on his face and a joke on his lips.
Javier was a man of many trades. He could fix anything from “his mom’s toilet” to getting an old truck to run. Javier was a friend of everyone. He always knew how to show you a good time! He loved the “ladies”.
Javier was a very affectionate man. He will always be remembered as “the hair twirler”. If you were within arms length of him and had soft hair Javier was going to lean over and play with it until you realized he had messed up your hair. And boy did he like to smell good! A hug from Javier left you smelling just like him all day long.
Javier loved to wheel and deal at the horseraces. He won his last race days before our good Lord decided Javier’s work was done here on earth. Well-known all over town for his extraordinary style when making the “money ball”, he would take the prize and share it with the world.
Javier was a free spirit at heart. He was a joyful and happy person. He simply loved everyone for who they were. No judgments. No questions.
My son, my brother, my dad, my uncle, my friend.
Ahora estas con nuestra Ita preciosa mi hermano hermoso. Un dia los vere. Be good brother.
