Jose G. Juarez, 67, of Abilene, passed away on Saturday, February 15, 2025. A loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Jose will be remembered for his incredible musical talents, his loving nature, and his passion for life.
Born on April 7, 1957, in Mexico City, Mexico, to Aurora Terron and Jose Guadalupe Juarez, Jose was a gifted musician from an early age. He shared his love for music with his father and younger brother, playing a variety of instruments, including the accordion, guitar and keyboard. His love of music was matched only by his deep desire to connect with others through song.
In 1973, he married the love of his life, Ramona Juarez, and together they enjoyed 52 wonderful years of marriage, creating a home full of love, laughter, and music. Jose and Ramona raised their family in Abilene, where they moved in 1985.
Jose was a man of many talents. He was a skilled musician, a mechanic, and a "jack of all trades," known for his ability to fix and build almost anything. Whether singing, playing music, or working on cars, he always had a passion for learning and sharing his knowledge with others.
Jose was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Ramona Juarez, and his son-in-law, Albert Gamez.
He is survived by his parents, Jose G. Juarez and Aurora Terron of Mexico, his children Yolanda Juarez, Leticia Pedroza (Gilbert), Veronica Gamez, and Marisol Juarez (Ricky), all of Abilene.
