Hilardo Lalo Juarez, Jr. was born on June 29th, 1950 in Presidio, Texas. His life was filled with learning, loving, and truly living.
Lalos laugh and smile were infectious. They filled the room like soft sunlight on a Saturday morning. He truly loved to put a smile on anyone’s face from a stranger to a familiar friend.
He was a true outdoorsman who spent his days soaking up the sun, tinkering in his backyard, and listening to his tunes. Early in his life, he was a scout leader and coach for his children, and later a cheerleader for his grandchildren. He enjoyed teaching those in his life everything and anything he knew from chess playing, to car fixing, to Biblical understanding. Sports were one of his favorite pastimes; and lately, he enjoyed cheering on the Lobo Basketball team alongside his loved ones.
Lalos entire life has been the epitome of hard work and dedication. He lived to love and care for his family, and was constantly there to save the day. He has always been a hardworking man, in every realm of his life. He worked as a Plant Operator, Measurement Tech, and more. He loved to learn anything and everything he could while working for Amoco and DCP Midstream.
Lalo was also an avid volunteer with Trinity Temple Assembly of God and consistently helped with food distribution and the annual love feast. He also helped with funerary meals and preparation at Our Lady of Grace when he was needed. Lalo was quick to step up and help those in need and has one of the kindest hearts someone could have.
He was called to his eternal resting place among the angels on March 19th, 2025. He will be missed dearly.
Lalo Juarez is preceded in death by his parents, Hilardo Sr. and Eloisa Juarez, brothers, Paulo and Francisco Juarez, and grandson, Hilardo Perez Juarez, IV.
