Juan was a man that was loved by all that met him. He had a special charisma that you couldn’t help but laugh around him. He carried a passion for life that was contagious, but his true passions were playing bowling, watching the MBL baseball games of his favorite team the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and working with his hands as mechanic. We use to call him the car whisperer, because he knew what was wrong with a car by just listening to the sound emanating from the vehicles. His favorite pass time was having a beer with his family and friends at a cookout or family gatherings. Juan was a devoted family man and a workaholic. You would always find him taking on projects at home to keep him busy. He lived a long happy life alongside his wife Mildred and the family he always dreamed of having.

The memorial service will be held on Monday, July 22, 2019 at 10 a.m. at Baldwin Fairchild Funeral Home, burial to follow at the Orlando Memorial Gardens.
