Juan Miguel Mendez

Dedicó su vida como testigo de Jehová el 1 de julio, 2000. Poco después conoció a su querida esposa de casi 20 años, Dayra, a quien venció con sus movidas en la pista del baile. Se casaron el 25 de marzo, 2004. Seis años después su familia creció cuando llegaron a ser padres de Juan Jr., el 23 de abril, 2010.

Juan fue un esposo y padre cariñoso, quien trabajó duro como maquinista proveyendo para su familia a la vez dedicando tiempo para actividades espirituales. Y aunque estaba cansado después de un día de trabajo, como un padre amoroso apartaba tiempo para los intereses de su hijo.

A Juan se le conocía por su personalidad alegre y juguetón. Se ganaba el cariño de todos. Con solo mencionar su nombre muchos dicen, “Este Juanito. ¡Como nos hacía reír!”

Los últimos años de su vida fueron difíciles debido a enfermedades. No obstante, su relación con Jehová se fortaleció a medida que veía Su mano sosteniéndolo (2 Cor 4:16). La esperanza que tenía de un futuro mejor bajo el reino de Dios era segura. Juan murió fiel a Jehová el 19 de enero, 2024.

Juan was a loving and affectionate husband and father who worked hard as a machinist to support and provide for his family, and at the same time dedicating time to spiritual activities.

Juan was known for his cheerful personality and playfulness. His sense of humor often left people in tears. It was impossible to not like him.
