Juan was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend who loved all and put God first in everything he did. He always enjoyed helping others and worked hard for his family. He loved to read the Bible, pray for and with others, spending time with family and friends. He was always smiling, and he loved playing his guitar, singing worship songs, and making up catchy songs about his loved ones. He was a member of Del Rey Baptist Church in Alexandria, Virginia, and New Hope Church in Front Royal, Virginia.

Juan is survived by his children, Rina Garcia Pereira, Varinia Garcia, Raymi Sanchez, and Jonathan Garcia, and his 9 grandchildren, Leonardo Garcia, Joshua Pereira, Brooklyn Garcia, Cambria Garcia, Aria Garcia, Cienna Garcia, Victoria Sanchez, Javier Sanchez, Valentina Sanchez and his “sweet” cat K’achita.

The family wishes to express an extreme appreciation to the Blue Ridge Hospice staff, family, and friends that visited.
