Javier was currently working as a deputy for Chesterfield Sheriff's Office and worked with the Circuit Court. He was a member of Glendale Community Bible Church where he served as a Deacon. Javier always had a way with people; his laugh and smile was contagious. Javier was an avid hunter and fisherman, always willing to teach anyone. He actually killed a 9 pointer before his death with a bow and arrow. Besides hunting and fishing, Javier also had a love for gardening, hunting dogs, the Raiders, Yankees, Lakers, Mustangs, and believe it or not…watching Wimbledon! Chickahominy lake bass fishing with his son was his favorite father/son pass time. Lyric and Javier had a passion for cooking together and seeing beauty in nature. Holly and Javier enjoyed mini date nights, eating a pizza from Horizon food store in the truck just spending special quality time together in the Glendale Community Bible Church parking lot, two birds in love. Javier was proud to protect and serve the community and will be missed by all.
