Juan was my 1st & only best friend. We met in Junior High and he was the 1st person I remember meeting on the basketball court. He really loved basketball, but he cared & loved people a lot more. I remember he let me borrow his ALF costume when we were in 7th grade. It was the 1st thing anyone ever let me borrow. He trusted people and gave them the benefit of the doubt. We stayed friends in High School and also played on the basketball court from time to time and I already felt a sense of loss when we took different paths after High School. His love, passion and smile will live in my heart forever <3 May you rest in peace my brother and I can't wait to play a game of 21 with you when I join you in Heaven.

I went to high school with Juan and I will always remember him. He was a great guy who is now shining above us in heaven. He will never be forgotten.

Everyone loved Juan. That is more than you can say for most people. I will remember him until the day that I die.

I don't ever remember seeing Juan without a smile on his face. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones.

Juan was one of the nicest, most kind, warm, and friendly people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.

God please rest his soul and give his family and loved ones peace.
