I am Fiona, daughter of Santana. Santana is Sebastian Xavier’s sister.
It’s so heart breaking to get this news.
My GodFather and My mum’s loving younger brother, who she was so proud and fond of and was looking forward to meet in person one day.
She is in so much pain today to let him go away so young.
As my mum mourns and recalls her childhood spent with her brother, the two would make a great team together.
Though I never got the chance to meet Uncle Xavier in person but have spoken to him many times on phone calls and with the fondest memories that my mum has conveyed to me for past decades, i understand that uncle Xavier was very very loving and loved his family so much. Very playful as a child and most protected sibling amongst the 8, faithful in every small task he was entrusted to. Had a loud laughter and he was good at vocals too while singing Mando’s (Goan folk songs).
He loved to cook even as kid, he would go to the neighbour’s house and make ‘Dose’ ( Goan dessert) and serve it hot to his friends. (Memory that is still recalled by the neighbours)
He loved sweets and desserts. He was Excellent at sports and won many trophy’s at school for cycling and was excellent at football too.
As many villagers still remember themselves being afraid to enter the ground to play football in the opponents team if Xavier was one of the players.
Attached a few pictures of uncle Xavier while he was a bachelor with his Father and sister Santana.
Farewell Uncle Xavier.
We will miss you dearly and you will always be remembered in our hearts forever
Love you from,
Santana, Thomas, Fiona, Francis and Reuel

My youngest maternal uncle of whom my mother Rubertina was very fond off. The last i saw him was perhaps in 1978. all i can recollect is the memories shared by my parents and aunts.
May his soul rest in peace

My uncle Sebastian was not only a uncle but a brother to me. He was my support and guide. I have lost my dear uncle. He was a kind hearted and loving person. May his soul rest in peace.

My uncle helped me in many ways when I was younger. Around the age of this picture I’ve got my first bike him.
It was a green five speed and I rode all over Stoney Creek
