Binky,
I am so sorry for the loss of your son Juan, he was one of my closest traditional Catholic friends.  We had many conversations about he Church, and he was a wealth of knowledge that has been lost to the world.  From when I met him when Geri and I got married until his passing, he was a a consistent model of humility, always striving towards holiness.   Requiem æternam dona ei, Domine.

Dear brother,

What can I say? It still does not feel real. I hope and pray that you rest in peace and that you be in the arms of Our Blessed Lord in Heaven, Whom you did everything to serve here on Earth.

God bless you, and thank you so much for everything.

Dearest Juan~ Earth Angel, brother and friend! How can it be you are gone from us so soon leaving us behind in this vale of tears with a void no one could ever fill.  There are no words to express the sorrow we feel but I believe in my soul you are already watching over us. I could never thank you enough for all you did to help us through the years! I shall miss your truly kind and gentle soul, your weekly animal memes, sharing pictures of the homestead with you and your telling me about still wearing Frankie’s flannels and everything else! There is just too much to write down here as there are no amount of words to ever suffice. Tho my heart has sorrow now I know one day we will meet again. Rest in Peace beloved friend. Pray for me and I for Thee that we may merrily meet in heaven! 
Your sister in Jesus thru Mary,
Geri T Horwath

Sincerest condolences to Binky and the Family Araneta on the tragic & untimely passing of Juan Carlos, may his soul, may his soul rest in peace.

Juan was one of the most saintly person I have met. His heart was pure, his thoughts sincere, and his actions always genuine and kind. I will miss you my friend. Please watch over us from above

Thank you Jolu, for this picture. This is how we will remember Juan Carlos. 
Hugs hugs hugs to you all!

This picture speaks a lot. Juan  Carlos who was 1 of the younger cousins grew to be a giant. Gentle giant.

We love you family of Tito AA, Tita Binky, Jolu & Thea & kids and Juan Carlos! From Jaba (To Sing) family.

Thank you all for hosting  Anna (Quino's younger) and Johan & Jemimah (Beads'kids). They met and were hosted by Lola Binky, Tito Jolu and Tita Thea and the kids and Tito Juan Carlos! They were blessed to have met Tito Juan Carlos! Anna was so amazed she had family relatives in NY who eagerly, generously invited them for lunch. What a pleasant family meal! I will treaaure this picture.  From Beads

Heaven robbed us of a saint in Juan Carlos.  I will miss his simplicity, meekness and humility.  

Juan made me laugh as we spent time together dining, talking and working.  He was my best friend.  I’ve never lost a best friend, until now.  I will pray to him and for him till we meet again in eternity. 

In order to honor his virtues, I will try to imitate his selfless, detached spirit and keen desire to grow in the Knowledge of God and His Church. 

Bye Juanito.  I wish I were there when it happened!  I’ll miss you!

Your friend,

Spencer Colgan

My deepest sympathy to Juan's mother, family  and friends.   May Our Lady of Sorrows  comfort  you in this time of mourning.   
With my sincere condolences ,
Mary Anne

I have known Juan Carlos for about 15 years and considered Juan a good Catholic man and fellow attendee at Traditional Latin Catholic Masses and sacraments.  

Eternal Rest Grant Unto Him O Lord!

Our family is very sorry to hear of the loss of dear Juan. He was such a sweet man.  We have ENROLL Juan IN PURGATORIAN SOCIETY
Every month St. Gertrude the Great Church offers a Requiem High Mass for the repose of the souls of all who have been enrolled in our Purgatorian Society.  This is in West Chester, Ohio.
Juan will be missed. God Bless.

Kevin and Phyllis Kiernan and family
