Javier Garcia Fernandez

Javier Garcia Fernandez, 70, was born on May 23, 1955, in Nueva Rosita, Coahuila, Mexico, and entered eternal rest on October 20, 2025, in Houston, Texas.

Javier was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, and friend whose kindness and generosity touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. His gentle spirit, unwavering love for his family, and joyful presence will be remembered forever.

He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Ervey Fernandez Garza and Natividad de Jesus Garcia Rodriguez; his mother-in-law, Mary Q. Murray; and his loyal granddog, Bogey.

Javier leaves behind to cherish his memory his loving wife of 52 years, Lupita Murray-Fernandez; his son, Javier Fernandez, Jr. and fiancé Rhonda; his daughter, Karen DeLaTorre and husband Chris; his chosen family, Antonio and Sandra Marquines, along with their children — Emily, Lindsey, Melanie, and Noel; his siblings, Hervey, Felipe, Martha, Norma Leticia, and Griselda; and his adored grandchildren, which called him "Yayo", Samantha, Nikki, Sebastian, Jordan, Jace, and Sophia; his 2 step grandsons; step great granddaughter; and his grand puppy Birdie. He also leaves behind numerous extended family members and a host of dear friends.

Javier was a man of many remarkable qualities. He was an exceptionally hard worker, always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need, never asking for anything in return. His generosity was unmatched, and his quiet strength spoke volumes to those who knew him best. Though a man of few words, his actions reflected a heart full of kindness, humility, and love.

He and his beloved wife were often the last to leave the dance floor, moving together with a natural grace and harmony that seemed destined. Their shared love and connection were beautifully reflected in every step they took together.

He had a lifelong passion for sports, one that grew even deeper as he watched his grandchildren begin to play. He also enjoyed hunting, fishing, and spending time outdoors, but his greatest joy came from being surrounded by his family. His children and grandchildren were the light of his life, each holding a special place in his heart. Javier had a unique way of making everyone feel special—often through the affectionate nicknames he gave them.

Javier will be remembered for his warm smile, his sharp sense of humor, and his generous spirit. His presence brought light and laughter to those around him, and his memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who loved him.

Javier will be deeply missed by all who were blessed to share in his life and the beautiful memories he created. His legacy of love, laughter, and faith will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
