While Juan was an officer with Raymondville P.D, I was trying to beat the traffic at the intersection of Hidalgo and Business 77. I did beat the traffic, but Juan put the lights and follow my vehicle. I stopped not knowing who the officer was. When I saw it was Juan, I knew he would give me a ticket. Instead he gave me a lecture. I later learn at the Police Academy, if you give a ticket don't give a lecture. I knew Juan from school. I graduated with  his sister Lola. I will never forget Juan.

Uncle Juan, you will always be remembered as the joyful man who always gave us a warm welcome every time we visited family in the valley.  It was always easy to talk with you and joke with you. You were always so kind and loving. Although distance kept us far apart, you never made us feel like we were “distant” relatives. I will always be grateful for your kindness. You have shown so much love to the Coronado family throughout your years.  For that and much more, you will always be cherished. May you feel the comfort of God’s healing and the joys of eternal life.  Love always, your niece, Elizabeth

Nineteen years with you wasn't enough but God needed you more. My love for you is endless and I'm going to miss you every single day of my life. You're in a better place now, at peace, and no longer suffering. You fought the good fight, you finished the race. Until the day I pass you will live through me. Heaven is so lucky to have you! Rest In Peace my sweet guardian angel, until we meet again. I love you forever and always. 

My deepest condolences to Juan’s entire family.  I had the sincerest pleasure of knowing and sometimes working with Juan from 1991-2001 during his time with the Raymondville Police Department.  Always a true professional, always ready to help anyone, and always a great friend.  Rest in paradise brother, we will take it from here.

Our heartfelt condolences to the family of Juan Silva.  We held such high regard and respect for Mr. Silva,  a family friend for many, many years.  Rest In Peace, Juan Silva. 

Grandpa you were a good man and the greatest Grandpa I could have,  I remember going down to visit you every time either to assist you with your ranch, you’d take us to the beach, make us BBQ you did a lot for me and my siblings it’s a absolute pain to see that you’ve have passed but you’re in a better place for sure you won’t be forgotten at all I’ll always remember you and Love you even in death rest well Grandpa. 

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Love you Grandpa

Our sincerest condolences to the family. Juan and Mary were our wedding witnesses and good friends.  Juan Salinas was my best friend in high school and having met his Mom and Juan years later was a blessing .  Rest in Peace dear friend.

Thank you for your service to Willacy County. I’m blessed to have had the honor of working with you at P.D. I can still see  that smile from the corner of your mouth when you came on duty. You knew that the words from my mouth would be “don’t be grouchy today”, you’re working with me.  You were a great man, took good care of all of us, and watched after my Daddy.  We will miss a great man and loving father to his children. Rest In Peace Primo!!! 
My prayers to Mary, Melissa, Javier and all the family!!!! 

An awesome Husband, Father, Father In Law, Grandpa. You will be dearly missed. We know you are no longer suffering, till we see each other on those streets of gold. We love you.      We Will Never Forget.

“God saw him getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around him and whispered “come to me”.
With tearful eyes we watched him suffer and saw him slowly fade away. Although we loved him dearly, we could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only take the best.”

I love you forever grandpa.  -Cyndi
