Javier Galvan, Jr. And Jaeleah Monique Galvan

It is with great sadness that the family of Javier Armando Galvan, Jr, and Jaeleah Monique Galvan, announce their passing on Wednesday, February 23, 2022, at the young ages of 35 and 16.

Javier was a warm, loving, and generous person who developed strong relationships with everyone he met.  He loved cooking, the Dallas Cowboys, welding, spending time with his family, and was dedicated to his job.  He never knew a stranger, because he would make everyone feel welcomed.  Anyone who truly knew him, knows he had a big heart; he loved fiercely and deeply.  Javier did everything for his kids; and he was the best dad in the whole wide world.  We take comfort in knowing Javier is now at peace surrounded by light.

Jaeleah Monique was a beautiful daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, girlfriend, and friend.  She loved her boyfriend and ranch dressing; she enjoyed dancing, art, and spending time with her family.  She was very beautiful, independent, and she was friendly to everyone she encountered.  Jaeleah was known for always being positive, even in negative situations.  She was always willing to take care of her siblings, no matter what.  Jaeleah Monique will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.  We take comfort in knowing she is with her father in heaven, where he will continue to be by her side.

Javier was preceded in death by his beautiful daughter, Jaeleah Monique Galvan; father, Javier Armando Galvan, Sr.; maternal grandparents, Jesus S. and Bacilia Constante; paternal grandparents, Santiago and Eva Galvan; Tia Martina Constante; and Tio Luis R. Constante.
