Por favor, ayúdennos a apoyar a Verónica Ubaldo, una querida amiga, luchadora por la justicia y alguien que ha defendido a tantos en su comunidad, en recaudar fondos para el funeral y ultima despedida a su querido esposo. Javier Pazos falleció inesperadamente en su casa el viernes 25 de julio. Era esposo, padre, músico y amigo de muchos. Su música se escuchaba en eventos comunitarios, iglesias y reuniones familiares en los patios. Recuerdo a Javier como una persona tranquila, humilde y cariñosa, y como alguien cuyo rostro se iluminaba al mostrar sus plantas en el jardín. La familia de Javier necesita nuestro apoyo para asegurar que reciba una despedida amorosa y que su familia pueda estar aquí junta para despedirse.

No hay palabras mejores para describir a Javier que las de su esposa, Veronica:

Notas del alma para mi corazón

Hoy me toca despedir no solo a mi esposo, sino al hombre que supo convertir la vida en melodía.

Javier Pazos no solo tocaba la guitarra y el bajo, tocaba también el alma de quienes lo escuchábamos. En cada bolero, cada balada, cada acorde de rock, dejaba una parte de su corazón.

Su música era profunda, sincera, nacida de la fe y del amor. Como católico, vivía con esperanza, y esa misma esperanza la transmitía con cada nota que tocaba.

A veces me decía que las canciones no se tocan solo con las manos, sino con lo que uno guarda en el alma… y él lo hacía como nadie.

Para mí, sus melodías eran “notas del alma para mi corazón”, un regalo eterno que guardaré mientras viva.

Aunque el silencio hoy pesa, sé que su música sigue sonando en otro plano, más alto, más puro.

Gracias, Javier, por cada canción, cada risa, cada instante. Gracias por enseñarme que el amor también se puede afinar.

Te llevaré conmigo siempre.

Descansa en paz, mi amor.

Tu música no muere. Vive en mí.

Please help us in supporting a dear friend, a fighter for justice and a woman who has stood up for so many others in her community, Veronica Ubaldo, in raising funds to put her husband to rest. Javier Pazos died unexpectedly in his home on Friday, July 25th. He was a husband, a father, a musician and a friend to many. His music could be heard at community events, churches and in backyard family gatherings. I remember Javier as quiet, humble, and caring, and as someone whose face would light up when showing off his plants growing in the garden! Javier's family needs our support to ensure that he gets a loving send-off from this world, and that his family is able to be here together to say goodbye.

There are no better words to describe Javier than those of his wife, Veronica:

Notes from my soul to my Love

Today I have to say goodbye not only to my husband, but to the man who knew how to turn my life into a melody.

Javier Pazos not only played the guitar and bass, he also touched the souls of those who listened to him. In every bolero, every ballad, every rock chord, he left a piece of his heart.

His music was profound, sincere, born of faith and love. As a Catholic, he lived with hope, and that same hope was transmitted with every note he played.

Sometimes he told me that songs are not played only with the hands, but with what one holds in the soul… and he played like no one else.

For me, his melodies were “notes from the soul to my heart,” an eternal gift that I will cherish as long as I live.

Although the silence weighs heavily on me today, I know that his music continues to sound on another level, higher, purer.

Thank you, Javier, for every song, every laugh, every moment. Thank you for teaching me that love can also be fine-tuned.

I'll carry you with me always.

Rest in peace, my love.

Your music never dies. It lives on in me.
