Juan Mendoza Santos, 76, was born on July 23, 1941. He passed away peacefully at home on July 24, 2017. Juan was born in Dawson, Texas to Felipe and Teresa Santos. He was raised in Pharr, Texas with his two younger sisters Lucia and Carmen. After attending school in Pharr, Texas he moved to Grand Prairie, Texas where he received his Milling Machine Operator certificate in 1970. Juan later married Belinda Nell Morrow on March 20, 1982 at the Sons of Hermann Lodge. Juan retired from many jobs such as, cabinet maker, sheet metalist on Aircrafts, body repair, and maintenance worker. However, out of all the titles he held being a loving husband, father, and grand-father was his favorite. He was a man of few words but he loved his family very much. He was especially proud of his two grandchildren. Every Sunday you could find him rooting on his Dallas Cowboys or throwing a family barbeque for a special occasion. Juan also enjoyed watching old movies and listening to old Mexican music. He was a quiet, loving, kind, and gentle man who will be greatly missed.
He is survived by his daughter Patricia Santos; two grandchildren Jessica and Joshua Santos; and his sister Carmen. He is preceded in death by his wife Belinda Nell Santos; parents Felipe and Teresa Santos; Daughter Nellie Santos; and Sister Lucia Santos.

Will find new strength.
