Juan Antonio Flores IV

Born to Eternal Life on Monday, January 19, 2026, Juan Antonio Flores IV, will live in our hearts forever. He was born on August 7, 2019, in San Antonio, Texas to his loving parents, Daniella Renee Espinoza-Flores and Juan Antonio Flores III.

Juan Antonio made this world a better place everywhere he went. Whether it was through his stewardship, kindness, or zeal for life- he inspired many at such a young age. He had a keen interest in recycling cans & metal; watching trash/recycle trucks & construction vehicles of all kinds. He dreamed of becoming a garbage man when he grew up. He loved attending school at St. Mary Magdalen and attending weekly services with his family at St. Vincent de Paul. His love for the library and reading grew more & more every day. Juan Antonio always loved being included in day-to-day activities like cooking, baking, laundry, or even gardening. At SA parks, he even learned how to play the piano effortlessly and started learning the discipline of Jiu jitsu at Ohana West. He was a player for a NYS t-ball league- “Ninja Turtles” & gave his best efforts at every game alongside his friends. He looked forward to watching the Missions baseball games to watch “the big guys” play on the field. His favorite holiday was Christmas because of all the twinkling lights and loved going to the beach every summer. Juan Antonio’s inquisitiveness, gentle spirit, and loving presence will be forever cherished.

Juan Antonio is survived by his mother, Daniella Renee Espinoza-Flores; father, Juan Antonio Flores III; and his baby brother, Mark Adam Flores, who will always have their “Bear” in their hearts.

In Juan Antonio’s honor, we will commit ourselves to remember a variation of his favorite scriptures from his bible- “Do everything in love, be kind to one another, pray, and rejoice in the Lord.” May he continue to swing as high as he can “to the moon!” at the playground in paradise.
