Angel Javier Carpio
1988 - 2023

On the morning of September 8, 2023, Angel passed away at Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno, CA as a result of a cardiac arrest he suffered the evening before. His wife and children were by his side. Angel was 35 years old.

Angel was born on August 29, 1988, in San Jose, CA. He was the third and final child of Sylvia Josephine (Hernandez) Munoz and Javier Lopez Carpio.

The following are words from his wife and children.

Andrea: My husband was the most handsome man I ever got the opportunity to fall in love with and truly really know what love is. Some people don't get to experience love in their lifetime, but I can wholeheartedly say I did. From day one he made me feel not only special, but loved, protected, safe, and the big one, more self-confident. He never once made me feel unattractive or made me feel bad. For God sake he called my stomach, which I hated, he called it his baby oven where his babies came from and he loved it. He always knew how to make me laugh, always provided and always kept our little family together and safe. We truly, as a family, know in our hearts that you are watching over us and guiding us through this journey and making new memories and making you so proud of us. I will always keep my promise to you to keep our babies safe and provide for them no matter how hard it gets, just like you did. There is not one day that goes by that you're not thought of or talked about. My husband was a CNA, caregiver, RNA, and he had many more titles but these are the ones that stick out the most. It just shows what a big heart he had because he did a great job when he worked in these fields and everyone loved him, so it did not surprise me when he wanted to become a donor. He helped a couple people with his donations and he shall have parts of him out there bringing others joy like he did for us. Even though it's hard to adjust without the love of my life of 15 years, I'm glad and truly believe in my heart he is in a better place; reunited with loved ones in heaven, and most importantly pain free. You literally loved us til your last breath and we shall love you and keep you in our hearts til we have ours. Til we meet again my love, we love you.

Jeremiah: "The Best Farter I mean Father" My dad. What I am writing about is what I loved about my dad and what I miss. There is a lot but I am going to say the most meaningful ones. I loved my dad, the best person that was brought to my life. He taught me many things about life and how to live the best life. I miss my dad most because of the things he would say and keep me from quitting. He would support me with what I was going to do with my life. That's what truly made me love him. Since he has passed, I have had times where I wanted to give up, but I always remember that he would never want me to give up and to be successful, so I squeeze that teddy bear with his heartbeat in it. The one thing my dad would always tell me was, "When I die you will have to protect Hailey even if she is mean to you. Love and protect her with your life." Now finally, what and why I am grateful for the time I had with my dad. I am grateful because I got to spend time with my dad more than others, so I am glad I had him for the important things in life. Like many skills waiting to develop, I am good at math like he taught me, and I am trying to be a man not just for myself, but for my sister and mom.

Hailey: I hope that dad is happy now because he was hurt but now he's in a better place. Now he's with grandpa and his mom and dad. He's happy and I'm glad he's okay and I never want to see him hurt. I always want the best life for him and my dad is with God and he's in heaven, and his parents are there with him and he's having the biggest hug. He remembers that we will always love Angel. He was the best dad I knew and we will always be my favorite dad. No one can replace him and he's with us forever. Hailey, Jeremiah, and Andrea and our cat and dog will always love you dad. Nonstop love. We will love you so much we will never stop loving you my father and I hope you had a very good day and hope Jesus loves you too and always has you in his heart, Hailey's heart, Andrea's heart, and Jeremiah's heart. We love you so much and we will have you with us in your ashes so we can take you with us wherever we go and we love you, even your cat. And you're with Sammy my first favorite cat and dog and we think about you and we love you, and all I wish is that you're happy with Jesus and I bet you're cooking with him right now and he loves your food just like us. And I made my cat Barbie for Halloween because 28 more days til Halloween. We will never forget you. I pray that I'm happy, Andrea is happy, Jeremiah is happy, and Biscuits and Travis and we see you looking down on us and I hear you saying' "I Love You" and so as I'm getting better grades I hope you're proud of me and I know you are and so am I.

Angel was preceded in death by his father and mother, as well as, three of his grandparents; Grandma Emily, Grandma Alicia, and Grandpa Jesse "Pops".

Angel is survived by his wife, Andrea, and their two children, Jeremiah and Hailey. As well as; his sister Eileen Medina, brother Joseph Carpio, and Grandfather Genaro Carpio.

As per Angel's wishes, there will be no funeral or memorial services held at this time. Angel has been cremated and returned to his home with his loving family, where he wanted to be. As one of Angel's favorite things to do was barbecue, he had said that anyone wanting to remember him could host a barbecue in his honor. That would be more meaningful to him than a traditional memorial service.

Angel's wife and children would like to thank everyone who donated and made it possible to bring Angel back home in such a timely manner and to help keep them afloat financially during this difficult time. They would also like to thank everyone for their countless prayers and well wishes.
