Juan was born in Laredo, Texas to Jesus and Francisca Morado on April 20, 1960. Juan was an avid collector and lover of fast cars and Rock-n-Roll. He spent his life working on the farm, driving that green John Deere tractor. Juan Morado was a humble, quiet, mild mannered man with a loving gentle heart. He was honest, trustworthy, generous and always willing to help someone in need. He never expected praise, rather he lived a very private life. If you ever were to encounter Juan, he would always have a smile on his face and a cold bottle of soda in his hand. We will miss our gentle giant.
