Publish in a newspaper
Javier Gaskins, beloved son, brother, grandson, and friend, passed away surrounded by loved ones. His warmth, humor, and passion for life will be remembered by everyone who knew him.
Javier had an unshakable love for sports-especially his beloved Philadelphia Eagles. Whether he was cheering from the stands, watching a game with friends, or debating stats with family, his enthusiasm was contagious. Sports were more than a pastime for Javier-they were a way to connect, to celebrate, and to share joy with the people around him.
Beyond his love of the game, Javier will be remembered for his loyalty and kindness. He was the kind of person who showed up when it mattered most, who listened without judgment, and who made others feel seen and valued. To his friends, he was a source of laughter and strength; to his family, a light that brightened every room.
Javier leaves behind a family who loved him deeply and friends who will carry his memory in their hearts forever. Though his time with us was far too short, the impact he made will live on through the lives he touched.
Fly high, Javier-forever an Eagle.
A Memorial Service will be held on Thursday, November 6, 2025, from 4-8PM at Roslyn Heights Funeral Home.
