Gabriel went to rest in heaven on June 28, 2022 after having complications with his heart transplant one year prior. He fought long and hard until his heart stopped working. No matter how sick he was he never stopped fighting. He struggled every day just to get out of bed but wouldn’t give up for his three daughters.

He was born January 20, 1973 in Ceres, CA to Nelida and Jose Juarez. He lived in Modesto, CA and went to Modesto High School. After graduation he attended a trade school in Phoenix, AZ and became a mechanical technician. He worked for Acura most of his life and became a master technician. He loved to hunt and loved the mountains. He also loved working on his 1972 Chevy Blazer. He loved living in the country.

He’s survived by his wife Lorena Juarez and daughters Vienna, Giselle, and Brisa Juarez; also by his brother Jose Juarez and his parents Nelida and Jose Juarez. We will remember him not how he was at the end but how he used to be. Now rest with God by your side and other loved ones that have passed on too. We will miss and love you forever.

Services will be held Friday, July 15. Rosary at 10:30 a.m. and Mass at 11 a.m. at St. Anthony’s Church, 7820 Fox Road, Hughson. Burial to follow at 1 p.m. at Ceres Cemetery, 1801 E. Whitmore Ave., Ceres.
