To his close family and friends Xavier was known as the life of the party. He truly loved to grill food for family functions and always had a colorful story to tell that would leave you feeling overwhelmingly entertained. Those who really got to know Xavier had an understanding that he would do anything in his power to help out the next person. He had a very giving and big heart. When he loved someone, he loved hard. He was known to be the “emotional’ one of his siblings and was not shy about shedding a tear. He was also known to be a disciplinarian to not only his own children, but to anyone he felt needed some direction. Though his words could be tough you knew they were coming from a place of love. He will truly be missed & no family function will be the same without him.
