Easton “Javi” was well known among the travel baseball community as a standout pitcher, and 3rd baseman for the BTLA Canes. Along with baseball, he was a diehard Miami Dolphins fan, Alabama fan and an admirer of Conor McGregor. The time he loved the most was spent with his best friend and brother, Maverick. He was known by many as Big E or EJ. His signature bleached blonde hair and pink cleats expressed his personality. His confidence was contagious in a way that drew you in, this was evident by the number of friendships he made with teachers, coaches, parents, physicians, teammates, etc. His natural wit and one-liners made it impossible to win an argument.

His legacy will live on, he will always be remembered as a one-of-a-kind kid, just like those unforgettable dimples.
