Dec. 9, 1983 – June 9, 2013

Javier Alonzo Galvan was born Dec. 9, 1983 and transitioned on June 9. He was 29 years young, and loved by everyone who was lucky enough to meet him.

He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Javier Alonzo Galvan; his parents Javier A. Galvan and Gabriela Galvan; his brothers Alex and Christopher Galvan; and his sister Jocelyn Galvan. He will also remain in the hearts of a very large family circle of friends and a handful of pets.

Jav was diagnosed with leukemia on Jan. 9, 2011. He fought a long and complicated fight for two and a half years. In his struggle, as in his life, he carried himself gracefully, with honesty, courage, love and optimism. His smile, his smell, his touch and his voice will be deeply missed by all, but his person and the memories of his love will remain in our hearts forever.

If anyone would like to send flowers and/or condolences, his memorial services will be held on Saturday, June 15 at 11 a.m. Crippen Mortuary is located at 2900 Honolulu Ave., La Crescenta. All prayers and donations are greatly appreciated by the family.

Peace, Jav.
