Join us as we commemorate the beautiful life of Xavier Jacque Bean
|
Xavier was diagnosed with developmental delay at age 2 and was confirmed autistic and intellectually disabled by the age of 3. He was non-verbal, but Xavier developed his own special form of communication by leading his family and presenting them with the things he wanted (such as his favorite snacks or games.) At age 7, Xavier started having seizures and was diagnosed with epilepsy. Kim and Chris worked diligently to create a consistent routine for Xavier, as they learned quickly that a structured environment was beneficial for him. During the pandemic Xavier struggled with not having his normal routine in place. He suffered from anxiety and his behavior became aggressive, unfortunately, so did his seizures. If you came to visit, you could count on seeing Xavier wearing his overalls, a bandana around his neck, wrist bands, and Adidas tennis shoes. It would only be natural for Xavier to be holding his IPad or the Kindle. When he was hungry, Xavier would lead his parents to the foods he loved… requesting pretzels, Jalapeno Cheetos, or Cheez Its. A sippy cup with orange juice was his “go to” drink, and like most kids, Chic-Fi-A was his top choice for a fast-food meal. Xavier loved to snuggle and hold hands. He responded positively to music and loved his weekday bus rides and weekend rides with his mom and dad. Xavier loved when his dad would pick him up and twirl him around…his laughter was infectious. He waited patiently for his Papa to come home from work every day, so they could hang out in the driveway in lawn chairs or go for wagon rides. He loved tractor rides with his dad too. It is believed that a seizure took Xavier in his sleep on Tuesday May 24, 2022….but without a doubt, God carried Xavier straight to heaven. As a gift to commemorate Xaviers life, RE/MAX One has committed through the Children's Miracle Network to use every dollar donated towards the purchase of a new Cardiovascular Ultra Sound Machine that will be dedicated in Xaviers name. |
