It is with deep love and profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Abraham "Javier" Aparicio Farias, a beloved father, spouse, and friend, who left our world on April 22, 2025. Born on December 31, 1949, in Michoacan, Mexico, Javier's spirit was vibrant, warm, and radiant, akin to the dawn of a new year his birth symbolizes. An adventurous soul, Javier lived a life full of exploration and embraced every moment with courage and determination. Javier was a man of many stories and talents, his creativity knew no bounds. His hands, skilled and strong, found pleasure in building intricate woodwork, a testament to his artistic flair. He was a seasoned hunter and fisherman, and his love for nature was palpable in his adventurous spirit. An avid rock collector, Javier found unique meanings in every stone he picked, mirroring his ability to appreciate life's simple pleasures. He dedicated his professional years as a Foreman in the reforestation business, leading with wisdom and tenacity. His most cherished achievement, however, was receiving his US Citizen Certificate, a feat that demonstrated his enduring resilience. Javier's life was a testament to the saying, "Family is not an important thing. It's everything." He was a loving pillar of support to his surviving family members: his spouse, Valerie Aparicio, and his children, Crystal Wakeman, Belinda Aparicio, and Adam Aparicio. He treated everyone like family, extending his warmth and generosity to all he encountered. He was preceded in death by his parents, Celso Sanchez and Imelda Aparicio. His memory will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of those who knew him. Please join us to honor and celebrate Javier's remarkable life on Friday, May 9, 2025, at 9:00 am at Newell-Hoerling's Mortuary, 205 West Pine Street, Centralia, Washington, 98531. We encourage everyone who was touched by Javier's life to share their memories and upload photos on his memorial page. His legacy is not just in the life he lived, but also in the lives he touched. As we remember Javier, may we also celebrate the adventurous, talented, creative, and loving soul that he was.
