Xavier Gerard Amador

Xavier Gerard Amador, a quiet and humble soul, passed away surrounded by the love of his family. Known for his unwavering dedication to those he cared about, Xavier was always there for his loved ones, especially his cherished nieces Sophia and Aleena, who held a special place in his heart.

A skilled journeyman electrician, Xavier worked diligently throughout his life, lighting homes and lives with the same care and precision he applied to his craft. A passionate Seattle Seahawks fan, he found joy in cheering on his team even in their worst seasons. He enjoyed unwinding with his favorite Call of Duty games where he was affectionately known as Odin.

Xavier’s simple pleasures were heartfelt and genuine. He loved savoring Bill Miller BBQ or anything tasty he could find in the fridge while waiting patiently for his mom’s home-cooked meals. He also loved spending time with his cousins, the bond he shared with them was a gift and he cherished it.

Generous to the core, Xavier was always ready to pitch in. He often texted his signature phrase, “I buy you fly,” a small gesture that spoke volumes about his giving spirit.

Among his greatest joys was his beloved German Shepherd, Julie, aka Princess, who was not just a pet but his loyal companion. Xavier loved his family, but there was no greater love for him than his mom, and he made sure she knew it every day.

Xavier lit up a room with his infectious smile.

Though quiet in nature, Xavier’s love and kindness spoke loudly in the lives he touched. He leaves behind a legacy of loyalty, generosity, and a family bound tightly by his devotion.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew him.
