Javier Arredondo

July 12, 1957 — April 23, 2017

Javier Arredondo, 59, of Charleston, South Carolina passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on Sunday, April 23, 2017.

He was born on July 12, 1957 in Valle Hermosa, Mexico, son of Anselma Casa-Frayre and the late Victor Arredondo, Sr.

His family will remember him as a generous, strong willed, stubborn man who would do anything for his family.
