There are no words that can alleviate the pain and saddness that all of us that loved Javier are going through, especially the Guerra family. I pray that you find comfort in knowing you are not alone. I never could get used to calling him Hector, I grew up with Javier and Javier is how I will always remember him. Although his life was cut short, he managed to leave many good memories and those good memories will bring comfort to us all.
But still we will miss you, Javier.

My sincere condolences to the Guerra family for their loss. We will all miss him and his unique sense of humor. My best moments with Javier were the years we spent together during the charro days. I have always held those times close to my heart and will never forget our horse riding days. May his family find comfort in knowing that he is seated by God's feet and will be the angel watching over our family.
