Javier is preceded in death by his parents Castulo and Cleotilde. He is survived by his loving wife Consuelo, four children Leticia (Rob), Julia (Ed), Arturo (Tracy), Alicia (Jim), and his eight beautiful grandchildren Gabriel, Alexis, Dominic, Sophia, Carly, Charlie, Dean and Aria.
Although Javier came from nothing and had to quit school at the young age of 8 to help provide for his parents and brothers and sisters, he was always happy to give generously with what little he had never expecting anything in return. Javier was a hardworking, self-less, caring, reliable and generous husband, father, grandfather, and friend who enjoyed working on his garden, taking walks, helping out his children, grandchildren and friends, and making everyone laugh. He was an honorable man. The anchor to his family always willing to help in any way he could. Though he experienced much sadness in his earlier life, he always maintained a light in his heart that anyone who ever had the privilege to know him felt.
