Juan Loredo

In loving memory of our father Juan Bizarraga Loredo, born on August 9, 1943, in Rio Verde, San Luis Potosí, Mexico, entered eternal rest on September 24, 2024. A man of humble beginnings, Juan traveled to the United States in search of a better life. As a migrant farm worker, he and his family labored in fields across Idaho, North Dakota, Minnesota, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Florida. His work ethic was driven by a love for his family and a belief in the power of education as a path to a future with better opportunities. One of his proudest accomplishments was becoming a US Citizen. He took great pride in seeing his children earn college degrees while achieving the goals he had always hoped for them. Though he was a man of few words, Juan's humor made those around him feel at ease. He had a rare gift for making friends wherever he went, yet his greatest joy came from being with his family.

Juan was one of twelve siblings and was preceded in death by his parents, Juan and Teresa Loredo, his older brothers Antonio, Pablo and his younger sister Estella. He is survived by his three children, Rebecca (married to Robert), Juan Antonio (married to Megan), and Gary (married to Eleanor), three granddaughters, Gabriela, Kenzie, and Maite and his remaining siblings Jaime, Eloy, Jaqueline, Julia, Maria Luisa, Ramon, Maria, and Gloria Loredo.
