Burial for Brian Navarro

I write this request on behalf of my niece, Sophie, who is 23 years old, the mother of 3 small children, and who lost her husband tragically and unexpectedly yesterday, March 20th.

Brian Navarro was called home to be with our Lord. He was 26 years old. We don’t know the cause of his death. He wasn't feeling well and went to the hospital, and shortly after, he was gone. He was taken in an instant, without warning, and we are in complete shock.

Brian and Sophie married young and started their family, and the Lord blessed them with three precious and beloved children. Brian worked in construction with his father - he excelled in it and became a contractor, and he worked so hard and diligently to support his family. He was not a young man who made a lot of noise or called attention to himself, in fact, he was the opposite - quiet, modest and unconcerned with what people thought. He was steadfast in his care for his family, and now they are without him.

We humbly ask you to to help us to support Sophie and her babies. The costs of burials have risen as with everything else, and Sophie has been a stay-at-home mom. This burden is very great. Please please we ask for your support and prayer as we help Sophie put Brian to rest and care for her financial needs as well. Brian also leaves his mother and father, two brothers, two sisters, a new nephew and many friends who loved him and grew up with him.

We thank you and bless you for your kindness towards them.

Escribo esta solicitud en nombre de mi sobrina, Sophie, quien tiene 23 años, es madre de 3 niños pequeños y perdió a su esposo trágica e inesperadamente ayer, 20 de marzo.

Brian Navarro fue llamado a casa para estar con nuestro Señor. Tenía 25 años. No conocemos la causa de su muerte. Fue llevado en un instante, sin previo aviso, y estamos en completo shock.

Brian y Sophie se casaron jóvenes y empezaron su familia, y el Señor los bendijo con tres niños preciosos y amados. Brian trabajaba en construcción con su padre, sobresalía en ello y se convirtió en contratista, y trabajaba tan duro y diligentemente para mantener a su familia. No era un joven que hiciera mucho ruido o llamara la atención sobre sí mismo, de hecho, era lo contrario: tranquilo, modesto y sin preocuparse por lo que pensaban las personas. Era firme en su cuidado de su familia, y ahora ellos están sin él.

Humildemente les pedimos que nos ayuden a apoyar a Sophie y sus bebés. Los costos de los entierros han aumentado como todo lo demás, y Sophie ha sido una madre que se queda en casa. Esta carga es muy grande. Por favor, por favor, les pedimos su apoyo y oraciones mientras ayudamos a Sophie a poner a Brian a descansar y cuidar también de sus necesidades financieras. Brian también deja a su madre y padre, dos hermanos, dos hermanas, un nuevo sobrino y muchos amigos que lo amaban y crecieron con él.

Les agradecemos y los bendecimos por su cariño hacia ellos.

From Marvin:

I was friends with Brian for over 10 years and I really got to know him as a friend and brother in Christ.

Brian, along with the guys and I started a band at our church. He got us all involved whenever he would serve at church - whether was cooking for the church or selling crepes to raise money for church. He was always looking for ways to serve God and our community. He had a heart to help and serve others. He never said no to the opportunities he had to serve at church. He was a man that truly loved God and his family.

I’m beyond grateful to have called him a dear friend, a brother. Grateful because God allowed me to be part of all the activities he did to serve God and others. Brian will always live in our hearts and we’ll always remember him.

See you later, friend.

From Marcos:

Brian loved God with all his heart and always made the effort and took action to serve Him. Brian loved his wife, his children, and it showed every chance I got to see him through his work, being home, persevering, providing, without a doubt. His wife and his kids were his world and he loved them. He was a dear friend, one who always wanted the best for each of his friends.

From Jeremy:

I can't remember the time I met Brian Navarro , because I feel like I always seen him most of my life, like a brother. We grew up together in the same place, where we believe in the same God, where we both saw how annoying school was for us. I even still remember the little moments we had, when we ran into each other in school too, even if it was a simple "hello". It hurts me ,because I want to relive those moments again. Moments , where we felt scared to look down from the van we were in, when we went to go camp together with some other guys, dinner nights after church when we got to get wings from buffalo wild wings, doing dumb little pranks, like putting ketchup in some other dude's drink. He was always with me, always a friend, always a brother. I was the misfit, the annoying one, and for some reason he stayed with me. I guess we're alike in some way

I remember even the times we would go play video games, or pick up a ball, kicking the ball. small moments like that will now hurt and stick to me. I will miss his laugh that was contagious, his words of wisdom, his determination, his strong willed mindset, our talking moments, our jokes, our handshake, our friendships, our moments in church, our sleepovers, our moments when we broke bread together, and our game nights. I really believed that maybe he will also see my kids and wife too one day, and if Jesus didn't came, that we would grow old, laugh about all other things that I can remember.I thank God with all my heart for putting him in my life because I love that man, I love my brother in Christ , I love my best friend and I thank God that he was a good father and a loving husband to Sophie and his kids , I thank God he was good brother and son to his siblings and parents , I thank God, because I know he is with the Lord. I hope to see him again, after my life or until Jesus Christ comes for his church, because when we are up there we will praise the Lord forever and ever. I don't know if there will be music there or an instrument to play, but I would love to play music with him again. Brian Navarro, my brother.
