Xavier Kasim Parchment affectionately known as Xman or X of Parker, Colorado, and New Rochelle, New York, was born on October 8, 1999. Xavier transitioned from the physical world into the spiritual realm on October 17, 2023, 9 days after his 24th birthday from heart failure. Forever in our hearts, Xman’s life was a blessing, and his memory will be treasured. Though this loss is immeasurable, so is the love Xavier left behind. There is no foot too small, that it cannot leave an imprint on this world and Xavier certainly left an imprint on the lives he came in contact with.
Xman was strong, brave, independent, generous and fearless, he was an intellectual who viewed the world with special eyes, and treated people with kindness and respect.
He has achieved success and has lived well, laughed often and loved much.’
Xavier was wise beyond his years. He was a selfless soul who always cared about the well-being of others and had the best sense of humor. He could always make a room of people laugh and leave you smiling when he left. In modern terms, Xavier was a (Cool Cat) but Xavier might want to be called a Cool Dog. A Cool Cat is a fashionable or hip person and that he was. He was easy going, casual and calm. He was the most laid back Cool Cat who took everything in stride. X loved all genres of music but his favorite was Hip Hop. He was an incredible artist who had an interest in Architectural Engineering. He also enjoyed building computers and gaming. Xavier was an avid reader of philosophical material. He was well versed in the Sciences. His favorite area of study was mathematics. Xavier graduated from Cherry Creek High in 2017 and completed his first year of college while in High School. Xavier attended Metropolitan State University of Denver in Colorado, and obtained his Bachelor Degree in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering. Xavier was adventurous, enjoyed road trips, and loved to try new things.
X legacy was really the lives he touched, the inspiration that he gave,- if even for a moment - and getting them to think, cry, laugh, or argue. More than anything, we will remember his smiles; the times we shared especially at family gatherings with our closest and dearest, and the love that he bestowed on us. God put him in our lives for a reason and a season, his earthly work was done. So today we celebrate and salute Xavier.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-4
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
It is appointed unto men once to die, but in death comes rest and peace.
A great soul serves everyone all the time. A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again.
