Jose Juarez-Molina

Jose Luis Juarez Molina went to be with his Lord and Savior on Wednesday, September 10, 2025.  He was born in Guatemala City, Guatemala, on October 21, 1960, to his parents, Gloria Molina and Jose Clidio Juarez.  Jose was preceded in death by his father, Jose Clidio Juarez.  At the age of 21, Jose relocated to Chicago, where he met Daisy Gonzalez.  On July 21, 1984, Jose married the love of his life, Daisy, in Puerto Rico.  Shortly after, in 1988, Jose and Daisy moved back to Chicago, along with their children, Karla Michelle (Gabriel) Caba (who are expecting the first grandchild) and Jose Luis (Alexa) Juarez.  Shortly after their move to Chicago, Daniel Juarez, was born.  Jose and the family lived in Chicago until 1991, when they moved to Michigan where they currently reside. Jose was a man of profound faith, who believed in Jesus Christ, his Lord and Savior.  He chose to honor and love God first as we are called to do.  Through this deep relationship with the Lord, he loved his wife and beautiful family with an unconditional love.  Jose lived as a servant to his Lord by always seeking to help others, coining his favorite phrase “Allow me to bless you so that I may be blessed".  He was a skilled handyman, who with Daisy's assistance, completely remodeled their first home.  He had a passion for cars and enjoyed attending car shows with his family.  He greatly cherished times that he spent with his family, especially the many frequent family trips traveling to Chicago to visit relatives, hanging out together and enjoying the hotel pools.  Jose was also known for his wonderful sense of humor and was affectionately thought of as a beloved "teddy bear" by all who knew him.  Jose will be greatly missed by his wife and children, who are deeply comforted and have true peace knowing he is now in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ; as well as his mother, Gloria; and brothers, Jorge M. Juarez, and Mynor Juarez.  Memorial services will be held 2 pm, Friday, September 19, at Simple Traditions Funeral Home, 3131 Division Ave S, Wyoming, with Apostol Danny Soria, officiating.  A Celebration of Life luncheon gathering will be held at the Douglas Walker Park Enclosure 1195 84th Street, Byron Center, MI 49315 following the service from 4-6pm.
