Vanessa Lara Santoyo, on February 9, 2024. Xavier loved his wife, family,
and little girl Mia very much. He had such a big heart. He enjoyed Jiu Jitsu,
competing, and training with others. Xavier had a passion for ministering to
those around him. He loved the Lord and served ministering to others as
well as leading bible studies and prayer groups. He loved the outdoors
whether it was camping, fishing, running, or just spending time with his
family. He was also an artist. While in high school he won 1 st place at the
Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo with a piece of art he created. Xavier
was also a person that could take anything broken and fix it. He enjoyed the
task of putting things back together as they were new. Xavier also loved to
laugh and enjoyed playing jokes on everyone. His laughter and kindness will
certainly be missed by those who knew him.
