Junior/Rogelio was a kid at heart, when you were around him you would forget being an adult and you became a kid again. Junior and his mother Julieta enjoyed going out, and eating was like a hobby of theirs. He was vegan but he knew where the good food was. He was smart and a genuine person. He loved science, and super heroes, but his mom was his biggest hero. He looked forward to Comic Con every year, and he could party and enjoy life like no other.

He had many friends that loved him and that he loved.

He was a professional artist and graphic designer but he did not want to be ruled by a schedule or by anyone so he decided to become an Uber/Lyft driver and he loved it, specially when he got to drive celebrities for Comic Con. Junior left a big heartache in everyone that knew him and loved him.

Junior is survived by his grandmother Olivia Molina-Lucero, his aunt Ana María Maestas, uncles Guillermo Alonzo Amaro, Jesus René Arrieta. His cousins and their kids.

And preceded in death by his beloved mother Julieta Amaro-Tello, his father Rogelio Quintana.

His grandfather Guillermo Amaro-Terrazas, aunt Michelle Amaro, uncle Ruben Amaro, cousins Alonzo Amaro and Rubén Ariel Amaro.
