In addition to being a charter boat captain and longtime bait and tackle shop owner, Navarro wrote fishing columns for several publications, including the Keynoter, and was a frequent guest on local radio shows.

Navarro had recently finalized a divorce from the mother of his two young daughters and lost his business, World Class Angler, in the last month as well.
