John will be remembered as a devoted and loyal presence in the lives of those who knew him—steady in purpose, thoughtful in word and deed, and guided by a quiet wisdom shaped over a lifetime. His courage was evident not in grand display, but in the consistent strength with which he met each season of life.
A man of patient care and gentle attention, John found simple satisfaction in gardening, where his thoughtful nature and steady hands could turn time and effort into something lasting and life-giving.
John is survived by his wife, Trinidad C Perez; his children, Lydia Perez, Christine Hogan (Kenneth Hogan), Sandra Serna (Mario L Serna), and John G Perez; and also leaves 7 grandchildren, and 12 great grandchildren.
May John’s memory be honored in the enduring love he gave, the loyalty he lived by, and the wisdom he shared.
