He was a truck driver and was the definition of a hard working man. Throughout his life he did many things, driving dump trucks, laying concrete, construction, carpentry and so much more. He really was the jack of all trades. Juan enjoyed fishing, hunting, but most of all you would always find him taking care of his land. He was and always will be a very loved father, husband, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and son. His legacy will forever live on through his familia.
