Xavier Diaz

Xavier Mario Diaz, age 31, passed away on September 17, 2023. He was a beloved son, brother, uncle, boyfriend, mentor, and friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Xavier was born on June 17, 1992, in Phoenix, where he spent all his years.

Xavier loved to watch sports and loved to help people, because of this he became a mentor for many at his job doing outreach to his local community at the Phoenix Rescue Mission. He would share his testimony to anybody who would listen and was proud of his sobriety and his path to finding Christ. Throughout his career, he was known for his hard work, dedication, and passion for helping others. He would spend most of his time either at church or reading his bible and was a big believer in Christ.

More than anything, Xavier was a devoted Son, Brother, Uncle (Tio), and boyfriend. He was an amazing son. He would call his father, Mario Diaz, nearly every day just to talk and catch up on current sporting events and talk about their lives and how their day is going. He was always there for his sister, Gina, whenever she needed him. He was a man who never said no. He always found a way to help with anything if someone needed it. He loved spending time with his nieces and nephews, sharing stories, playing games, and watching their favorite TV shows. He would spontaneously show up and offer to take them out to have fun. He would take them to the zoo, bowling, the movies, sporting events, and even birthday parties. He was always there to offer guidance, support, and encouragement, no matter what challenges they faced.

In his free time, Xavier enjoyed spending time with his girlfriend, Maria, they would go to sporting events together, go fishing, and go out to eat. Xavier was always eager to share his knowledge and enthusiasm with others. He was an active member of his community, volunteering for various causes and organizations.

Xavier is survived by his Father, Mario; Sisters, Iris, Carmen, Diana, Lillian, and Gina; and his brother, Felix. His memory will be cherished by all who knew him.
