Javier "Javi" Gonzalez

At only 18 years old, Javier "Javi" Gonzales Jr, born April 3rd, 1998, tragically lost his life. On the morning of December 8th on his commute to college, Javi's car was hit and skidded out of control. His car came to a stop in the second lane of Interstate 5 where shortly after he was hit by a big rig and died on impact.

Javi was a caring, family-oriented young man with an infectious smile that one could not help but fall in love with. He was the best first born son his parents could have ever hoped for and the best older brother his two younger brothers (Samuel and Nicolas), and baby sister (Katarina) could have ever been given.

Javi was a passionate soccer player who spent his entire life playing soccer. He was also a referee for youth soccer games. Javi loved working on his car and was working towards becoming a mechanic while studying at Universal Technical Institute (UTI).
