Francisco Javier Diaz

Francisco Javier Diaz died in Watsonville on March 30. He was 52.

Mr. Diaz was born to Celedonio Diaz and Aurelia Valencia Sanchez in Michoacán, Mexico on Oct. 2, 1968.

Mr. Diaz was a cable technician for 25 years. He grew up in Watsonville, but moved to San Bernardino where he met his wife and had three children. He worked hard to provide a rich life for his family. He lit up the room with his humorous persona, big smile, and contagious laugh. He was always the conversation starter.

He was generous throughout his life. He loved to watch his San Francisco 49ers and San Francisco Giants play. He loved his music. He loved his roosters. But most of all, he loved his family.

He is survived by his loving wife Yajaira Moya of 27 years, two daughters, Dianna and Kimberly Diaz, and his son, Jonathan Diaz. He was preceded in death by his father Celedonio and brother Liberato Diaz.

Visitation will be held on April 15 at Mehl's Colonial Chapel, with the Rosary starting at 11am and funeral mass at St. Patrick Church starting at 1pm.
