Julian Xavier Espinoza was born on December 3, 2004, to parents, Osvaldo Espinoza and Arlene Salias, in Lynwood, California and passed away on October 23, 2025. He is under the care of West Funeral Home. Visitation will be held on October 29, 2025, at West Funeral Home Chapel at 1:00pm. A funeral service will take place the next day, October 30, 2025, at 2:00pm, in West Funeral Home.

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the passing of our beloved Julian, who was taken from us far too soon at the age of 20. Julian was a bright light in every room he entered full of life, laughter, and love. His smile was contagious, his sense of humor unmatched, and his kindness touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
Julian had a gift for making others laugh and lifting their spirits, no matter what they were going through. He lived with a genuine heart, always willing to help, always ready with a joke or a hug. His presence brought comfort, joy, and warmth to his family and friends.

He is survived by his loving father, mother, and two brothers, who will forever carry his memory in their hearts.

Julian's legacy is carried in the life of his 4-year-old daughter, Lilah Savannah Rivera Espinoza, born on August 10, 2021.

Though his time on this earth was far too short, Julian's spirit will continue to live on in all the lives he touched.
We will remember Julian not for the years he didn't have, but for the love, laughter, and light he gave us in the time he did. His memory will forever be a reminder to cherish life, hold your loved ones close, and find joy in every day.
