I feel like I should do this, for I have a lot to thank to this man. Jesus Javier, the renowned Hispanic news reporter who was currently Vice President of Noticias de Estrella TV and was also the anchor of its weekly night news, has passed away. He died this past Monday after losing his battle with cancer.
His resume is impressive. He graduated from UC Berkeley after studying Electrical Engineering and worked for Univision as an anchor in cities such as San Antonio and San Francisco. However, it was working for KMEX 34, Univison Los Angeles, where he gained extreme recognition, where we stayed from 1993 to 2000. He also worked for KVEA-TV Channel 52 (Telemundo) and, most recently, Channel 62, KRCA. Jesus Javier also got prestigious awards such an Emmy, a Golden Mic Award from the Radio and TV News Association of Southern California (for a special investigation he did titled "Infierno Bajo Cero"), and a silver medal at the NewYork International Film and Television Festival (for "De Leyes y Papeles" as Best Documentary).

With so much honesty, I have to say I was deeply saddened by his death. Since I was a young toddler, I began to watch the news because of him (to which I've become a news junkie ever since). His deep, impressive voice was his best feature that I really admired, and I just loved looking at him because he had this rough, but sweet, professional appearance. And I guess I wasnt the only one who loved this man. He was the reason why Channel 34 6 o'clock news was number one for a long time in Los Angeles. This man truly had charisma, as well as passion for his profession.
So Jesus Javier, may you rest in peace.
