Juan was born March 23, 1949 in Caldwell the son of David and Isabel (Narro) Duran. He was employed by Texas A&M in the grounds department for many years. After leaving Texas A&M he worked in construction for the rest of his working life.

Juan was a very conservative and humble man who lived a quiet and simple life. He loved going to his friend of 60 years Johnny Yeppez's house and having Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner with the family. He was shy and quiet but, he was always ready for a good laugh and conversation with the family members. Juan loved turkey with all the trimmings and he definitely would take a plate home for later. He loved listening to his cassettes of Mexican music and seeing Novellas on the television or on his VHS cassettes. He was one of a kind and will dearly be missed by all of his family and friends.
