Juan Manuel Valadez

Born on May 13, 1958, Juan was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, son, brother, and friend.

Juan is survived by his loving wife, Graciela Medrano Valadez, with whom he shared a lifetime of memories and love. He was a proud father to Leon Monico Valadez and his wife Monica, and to Ruby Lee Valadez and her husband Osvaldo Villarreal. His heart found endless joy in his grandchildren: Nathan Garcia, Neven Garcia, Noah Valadez, Jake Valadez, Ysatis Garcia, Yanni Pilar Valadez, and Avery Valadez. His legacy continues through his great-grandson, Mateo Adonis Valadez, whose arrival brought Juan immense pride and happiness.

He is also survived by his father, Manuel Valadez, and a large and loving family of siblings: Jose Valadez, Danny Valadez (spouse Benita), David Valadez, Armando Valadez (Roberta†), Albert Valadez (spouse Velma), Yolanda Fuentes (spouse Sam), Anna Valadez, Rosa Zambrano (Manuel†), Josie Arredondo (Carlos†), Julie Perez (spouse Roger), Sandra Valadez, Irene Villa (spouse Jessie), and Melissa Valadez. His relationships with his siblings were a testament to the closeness and strength of the Valadez family.

Juan was preceded in death by his beloved mother Margarita Molina Valadez, his grandson Neven Garcia, and his sister Yvette Valadez, all of whom he held close to his heart and whose memories remained with him throughout his life.

Juan’s presence in the lives of those who knew him will be profoundly missed. He leaves behind not only a family united by love, but also a legacy of generosity, dedication, and integrity. Whether through quiet conversations, hard work, or the simple joy of being surrounded by family, Juan touched countless lives in ways words cannot fully capture.
