Growing up Junior spent several summers in Mexico with his grandparents and family. He especially enjoyed spending time in the ranch of Cebollitas, Canelas, Durango, Mexico where he rode horses, swam in rivers, and traveled the country side of his grandparent’s birthplace. Junior created a strong bond with many family members and cousins in Mexico.

For the last 5 years Junior enjoyed training and mastering Muay Thai and competed in several tournaments. He spent his free time physical conditioning, weightlifting and training.

By far Junior’s favorite pastime was spending time with his cousins and all of the dear friends he had. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him; especially his parents, brother, sister, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and the many cousins and friends.
