He loved to hunt, attend car shows and to tinker on his old Ford Pickup. He also took great pride in keeping his lawn looking good. Because Juan was such a caring man, he would often “gift” items to neighbors, family and friends, as he was one to enjoy shopping! In his “retirement years” it was his desire to keep busy, therefore he got a job working for Goodwill Industries. There he enjoyed meeting various people and developed additional friendships.

Granddaughters, Julia (Bob) Dawson, Erica (Taylor) Hazen, Jaysie and Mylie Fox; great granddaughters Paisley and JoJo Dawson and (Finally!) great grandsons, Brady and Benson Hazen.
