Support Staff

Javier “Jr” was born in Yakima, Washington and joined our team in November 2025. As the first person many families meet during a difficult time, he takes pride in treating every loved one with dignity and respect. Jr also assists with long-distance transports and supports Funeral Services whenever it is needed. Following graduating from Wapato High School, Jr worked in construction before finding his passion in Funeral Service. He is proud to work alongside his wife, Mara Garza. Jr loves the sense of family and community here, both at work and at home. Outside of the funeral home, Jr is a devoted father of two. He enjoys spending time with his family, watching sports, and fishing. For him, being part of this work is more than a job, it’s about helping families feel cared for when it matters most.
