Xavier was born in Green Bay, Wisconsin to Pedro Ibarra Cortes and Lindy Joy Stascak on April 24, 2007.  He was a student at Maplewood Middle School in Menasha. Xavier was an excellent fisherman and loved to spend hours by the water. He loved sports and was active in Menasha Blue Jays Football as a kicker scoring numerous points for his team and helping them to many victories. Xavier was a devout Catholic and received his sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Eucharist in 2016 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Menasha. He spent 6 years participating in karate and earned his black belt in 2018. Xavier had an ear for music and was a very talented musician playing the baritone, trumpet, as well as some piano and guitar.

His artistic abilities were very impressive and in his free time Xavier would paint, draw and even make his own fishing lures.
