Juan's work ethic starts as far back as 12 years old driving a semi in Mexico and continued here with Plainfield Trucking. He loved telling stories and, his favorite, when his dad first let him drive his semi. He felt honored, privileged, and let's face it pretty chingon, as he would say. His love for Mexico and his semi days run deep in his blood and that of his family's. Juan had many jobs and adventures when he moved to the USA living in different cities but residing in Nekoosa, WI. His next biggest adventure was Segovia's Mexican Restaurant where he began another legacy. People loved that place and so many memories, good times, and especially friendship were cultivated there. Thank you to those that supported the restaurant all those years ad for those who became lifelong friends. Juan's other joy was food! Tacos in particular. He loved food and friends so much and he passed that on to his daughters. He had a heart of Gold and was a huge teddy bear. He couldn't be mean to anyone, even if they did him wrong. He always tried to give grace and love to people. He was humble and to the very last moments he told his girls to always feed someone who needs it and to stop and help those in need. His legacy is his love and his will to help others, almost to a fault. Juan will be missed by so many and there is definitely avoid in this world without him. The family would like to thank everyone that was with him till the end and to all who reached out and offered support to them. Juan had his last Whopper and Twinkie before he went. Every time you have a taco, whopper, twinkie, or tequila shot say a cheer to "Juanito". Funeral Services will be held on Sunday, June 25, 2023, at 3:00 p.m. at Herman-Taylor Funeral Home.
