He spent most of his life in Mexico City before recently moving to Blanket to live with his mother. Jr. was enrolled in Brownwood High school, the 9th grade. Jr. was like most young men his age, he really enjoyed the Avengers, his favorite being Spiderman. He was very athletic and enjoyed playing any kind of sport. Jr. was witty and smart, he had several Rubik’s cubes and was good at solving the problem. He was always trying to solve it in a faster time than before. He had a protector’s heart. This came from being the only son with several sisters. He was always polite to adults and was eager to help no matter what was asked of him. He was fearless, he travelled from Mexico City to Texas by himself so he could spend time with his family here. A bright shining star, gone to soon.
