Javad played on the Varsity Buff Basketball team and competed for the State championship during his senior year. In May 2001, he graduated from Smoky Hill High School, Aurora.

Javad was a caring and sensitive young man. Being a little brother he always looked up to his sister and they confided in each other. He loved his “Grandpa” and “Grandma.” He always had a brilliant smile, warm hug or a friendly kiss for everyone. His personality brought people together. Javad was known as a loyal and dedicated friend, and his friends came in all cultures, beliefs, and backgrounds. Javad was an active student leader at Colorado State University and was recognized by the city of Fort Collins and CSU at its first Community Civility Awards banquet. He accomplished much in his 22 years of life and in May 2005, Javad successfully graduated from Colorado State University, Fort Collins, with a Bachelor’s of Arts Degree in Speech Communication and Rhetorical Theory. He had big plans and a bright future with aspirations of working as a lobbyist in Washington, DC or working for a Fortune 500 company. He had planned to continue his education and pursue a law degree.

Javad loved music, people, event planning and the art of communication. He loved the “spoken word.” He was a Co-Founder, owner, and operator of WAR Entertainment and became the Prince of the city for organizing and prompting urban entertainment throughout Metro Denver. While attending Colorado State he touched the hearts of many. One such friend was Vivian Wolfe. In June 2005, Javad gave Vivian an engagement ring. They planned to relocate to Virginia; both were looking forward to starting a wonderful life together with their dogs “Coco” & “Face.” On June 20, 2005, Javad and Vivian were gunned downed and killed while driving down a street in Aurora, Colorado. Javad Marshall Fields was scheduled to testify against Robert Ray for his criminal involvement in the killing of Gregory Vann.

The District Attorney office stated that Javad Marshall Fields never asked for or requested witness protection services.

Vivian Wolfe

July 25, 1982 – June 20, 2005

Vivian Wolfe was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado at Memorial Hospital the beautiful daughter of St. Clay and Myong Christine Wolfe, and sister of Yong Wolfe. Losing her father when she was 2 months of age, she never had the chance to know him. After some time, her mother married Mike Prosser who has been her father ever since. Vivian Wolfe attended Colorado State University and graduated on December 17th 2004 with a Bachelors Degree in Science. Vivian and her fiancé Javad Marshall-Fields were planning to move to Virginia near her brother. This is where she had planned to finish her graduate studies in science nutrition and go on to be a midwife.

From day one Vivian was all smiles and full of love. She loved everything and anything that could be loved. Vivian was very family oriented and loved her family and friends unconditionally. That is why her passing is such a tragic loss to her mother and best friend Christine Myong Wolfe, father Mike Prosser, brother Yong Wolfe, her baby (dog) Coco, and all that knew her.
