Juan (JJ) Carlos Garza Jr.

Juan (JJ) Carlos Garza Jr. was born on July 7, 2003, to Juan and Sheli Garza. He was a fighter from the start. He was the baby of the family having 3 older stubborn sisters. Even as a small child he brought a smile to everyone’s face and didn’t know a stranger. His beautiful smile and huge heart went home to the good Lord on July 31st where he joined all his grandparents and several family members.

JJ went to school his entire life in Merkel where he gained so many friends and learned a love for gaming and animals. He was very involved in the Merkel FFA and even earned a degree in Welding as a senior in high school. He graduated from Merkel High School in 2022.

He was the most caring, sentimental, funny person. He was continually there for all his friends and family when they needed him. He wanted to be helpful in all ways that he could and was always lending a helping hand to anyone that needed him. Anything from teaching a young new show kid showmanship skill to mowing lawns for fellow coworkers who couldn’t do it. He was always thinking about those around him.

He will forever be missed, but he will never be forgotten. His wonderful memories, laughs and smiles will live on though his parents, Juan and Sheli Garza; sisters Tamara Garza, Ashley Boehler, LeAnna Garza, their spouses Shawn Chevalier, Caleb Boehler, Matias Chavez, his niece and nephews Stormi Garza, Joel Boehler, Liam Boehler, his girlfriend Sarah Brown, numerous other family members and friends.
