Javier Kenneth Resendez

PHARR - We are saddened to announce the passing of Javier Resendez, a devoted brother, proud uncle, and cherished friend, who left us on November 3, 2025 at the age of 48. Javier was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Joe and Margaret Resendez. Born and raised in Pharr, Texas, Javi brought warmth, humor, and a vibrant spirit to everyone he met. He served with distinction in the U.S. Border Patrol for 24 years, working across multiple regions where he touched so many lives before settling in Washington, D.C., where he lived for the past six years. His dedication to service and his ability to connect with people left a lasting impression on colleagues and friends alike.

Javier is survived by his two siblings, Dina (Russell) Roach, and  Joe (Sarah) Resendez; seven nieces and nephews (Andrea (Christopher) Allison, James, Brenda, Lyra, Austin, Ethan, and Micah); and three grand-nephews, (Noah, Elijah, and Levi), all of whom will remember his lively stories, generous heart, and the joy he brought to family gatherings.

He had a passion for spending time with loved ones, cheering on his Dallas Cowboys with unwavering loyalty, and in recent months exploring the scriptures with curiosity and reflection. His life was marked by enthusiasm, compassion, and a deep appreciation for connection and friendships.

Visitation will be from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. with a 7 p.m. rosary Monday, November 10, 2025, at Legacy Chapels 4610 South Jackson Road in Edinburg. Funeral mass will be at 10 a.m. Tuesday, November 11, 2025, at St. Margaret's Catholic Church in Pharr. Interment will follow at Palm Valley Memorial Gardens in Pharr.
