Our amazing Javier was born in San Antonio, Texas and lived here his entire life. He graduated from Brennan High School and pursued his talents in art while employed at HEB. He loved his family and was always there to help everyone he knew. He had a loyal dog named Nala that he adored and spent fun times with. JP was a generous person and a mediator of Peace. He always preferred peace over drama. Sunsets and nature. Video games and music. He was funny, and his love for "Natural Herbs" was undoubtedly one of his favorite things to do. He was so extremely caring as he was handsome and talented. He was artistic and could sketch or paint beautifully. He was a playmate to the children and a caring listener to everyone. He was a soul we needed and loved here on this sad earth. The family is of Christian faith and we know Jp has been delivered into Heaven and we will be with him once again. Glory is to be in the Heavens with our Almighty God.
