Juan Carrera

He was a "keeper of secrets", our calm during any storm, our happy place, a helping hand and a part of us. He loved his family with everything he was and never stopped trying to provide or stopped trying to help those who needed him the most. He had so much love to give and it showed in everything he did. Putting smiles on even strangers faces, you could tell he was always a pleasure to have around. He was a die-hard Cowboys fan, loved to watch wrestling & his old western movies and definitely a lover of tejano music through & through.

Juan is survived by his wife, Oralia Mireles Carrera; his daughter Cynthia A Laredo (Jaime); and his son Jose A Torres ( Sofia); his brother Adolfo & Bella Cortez; his granddaughter Ashley M Del Valle ( Ingrid), his granddaughter Kaylee N Canales (Steven), his grandson Roger Morales, his grandson Dakota A Ruiz (Clara), his grandson Austin K Ruiz and his granddaughter Cheyenne Mendez-Ruiz and his grandson Jordan A Ruiz. Juan also leaves behind several nieces and nephews, 14 great Grandchildren and Several God Children all who will miss him dearly.
