Obituary
Juan was a very good-hearted person. He enjoyed being around family and friends. He would lend a hand if needed. He enjoyed being an uncle to all his nieces and nephews. The main thing he wanted to do was put a smile on everyone’s face and make everyone laugh. He will be missed dearly and will be held close to our hearts.
