Alejandro Juarez, born on April 16, 1959, in San Antonio, passed away on August 8, 2026, in his hometown, surrounded by the enduring spirit of the city he loved.

A proud son of Porfirio Juarez and Minerva Rodriguez, both of whom preceded him in death, Alejandro’s life was defined by deep devotion—to family, to country, and to the communities he touched.

His academic and professional achievements set a powerful example for his children and grandchildren, embodying perseverance and intellectual curiosity.

The true center of Alejandro’s world was always his family. He is survived by his beloved children: sons Alejandro Juarez Jr. (Soohwa) and John Paul Juarez (Rachel), and daughters Ariel Juarez and Pamela Juarez (Amber); to his grandchildren, Sophia and Kenji Juarez, as well as several brothers, sisters, nephews, and nieces; and the mother of his children, Corinna Salas. He was a source of encouragement and warmth, sharing family stories and the comfort of consistent love.
