Obituary of Juan Carlos Betancourt
IN THE CARE OF

Caballero Rivero Little Havana

Con profundo dolor y amor eterno, la familia Betancourt anuncia el fallecimiento de Juan Carlos Betancourt, conocido con cariño por todos como “Juanky”, quien partió de este mundo el 23 de septiembre de 2025, a la edad de 58 años.

Nacido el 30 de octubre de 1966 en Matanzas, Cuba, Juanky fue un hombre lleno de vida, luz y carácter. Tenía una personalidad única: sarcástico, gracioso, trabajador incansable y con un corazón enorme. Era el tipo de persona que dejaba huella — no solo por lo que decía, sino por cómo hacía sentir a los demás.

Le apasionaba la pesca, viajar, y el baile, siempre buscando momentos para disfrutar la vida con alegría. Su risa era contagiosa, sus bromas eran parte de su esencia, y su capacidad de amar era infinita.

Aunque su madre, Tedy Herrera, ya había partido, ella crió a sus sobrinos como si fueran sus propios hijos — un legado que Juanky continuó con orgullo. Entre ellos, era conocido con cariño como 'el primo más chiquito', un apodo que reflejaba su espíritu juvenil y el lugar tan especial que ocupaba en sus corazones.

Juan Carlos permanece en los corazones de su amada esposa Yunet, su hija Elizabeth, y tres tías muy queridas. Su memoria vive a través de los numerosos primos que lamentan su partida y honran su vida y legado.

Era, simplemente, un hombre increíble. Dedicado, leal, alegre y tan, tan querido.

Juanky fue y siempre será profundamente amado. Su memoria vivirá en cada carcajada, en cada historia compartida, y en cada rincón donde dejó su huella.

Descansa en paz, Juanky.

Te llevamos en el alma, para siempre.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

With deep sorrow and endless love, the Betancourt family announces the passing of Juan Carlos Betancourt, affectionately known as “Juanky”, who left this world on September 23, 2025, at the age of 58.

Born on October 30, 1966, in Matanzas, Cuba, Juanky was a vibrant soul — full of life, light, and character. He was known for being sarcastic, funny, hardworking, and above all, full of heart. He had a way of making everyone around him feel seen, heard, and loved.

He loved fishing, traveling, and dancing, always chasing joy and creating unforgettable moments. His humor was quick, his presence magnetic, and his love for family unmatched.

Although his mother, Tedy Herrera, had passed, she lovingly raised her nieces and nephews as if they were her own — a legacy that Juanky proudly carried on. Among them, he was affectionately known as 'el primo más chiquito,' a name that reflected both his youthful spirit and the special bond he shared with each of them.

Juan Carlos leaves in the hearts of his beloved wife Yunet, his daughter Elizabeth, and three dearly loved aunts. His memory lives on through the many cousins who mourn his passing and honor his life and legacy.

He was, in every sense, an amazing man — generous, dedicated, joyful, and so deeply loved.

Juanky was, and always will be, so, so loved.

His memory lives on in every laugh, every story, and every place where he left a piece of his heart.

Rest in peace, Juanky.

You are forever in ours.
