To the family of Juan M. Solorio, It was an honor to hear a wonderful speech about the man who gave much repect to his country. This speech was given at Quintanilla Middle School and it made me shed some tears. The speech was about respect so that these kids can learn what it takes to have respect. I will honor you, Juan M. Solorio, this memorial day and many days to come to "Thank you" for serving our country and protecting our freedom. I will share your honor with my kids and their friends! You will never be forgotten!!

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Gabby, it's been many years since we shared Christmas together in Hawaii. Still we have pictures of Juan, you and the kids sitting on our couch. Max was just a new baby then... Your family helped us to feel at home when we were so far away from ours.
We stumbled upon this information while searching for old friends on the internet. This news is truly surreal to us at this point. Juan was a good man. We are so sorry for your loss.
God Bless,

My heart & prayers go out to the Solorio family. I just read about Sgt. Solorio in the Wall Street Journal.
To his parents: Thank you for giving the world such a wonderful man. It's a painful thing to lose a child - nothing like it in the world. It doesn't seem like our children should predecease us. I do know one thing, he is in Heaven and you will be reunited with him and he is your son for all eternity.
To his wife & children: I am so sorry. There are no other words to express the loss of a soulmate, father, friend.
May the Lord bless you, keep you & comfort you.
Know that there are people in this world whom you've never met, never heard of, praying for you.

To Juan's family: I was deeply saddened upon finding Juan's obituary it the newspaper. I worked with Juan at Westbrook's the year he graduated high school in fact he gave me a graduation picture of him in his cap and gown. I trained him in the model room. We worked nights back then and spent a lot of time talking while we worked. He was a wonderful person to work with and he had a great sense of humor. He was the best trainee that I ever had and that's the truth. My prayers are with you all.

Gabby, Julian, Max I am sorry to have only just heard of your loss. I loved Juan even more than my own family. He was my brother for a great many years, and that is how I will always remember him.
Gabby, you were the perfect wife and best friend I could ever have hoped to meet. Julian, I so enjoyed watching you grow up on our many trips out and time spent together. Max, I wish that I could have known you better over the years. I miss you all very much - Karen and I were hoping to see you all later this year.
Fabi and Longi, your family took us in and looked after us, and you treated me as family every time we met. Because of the love and kindness that you showed my wife and I, I know Juan couldn't be happier than having you as brothers. Please pass on my best wishes to your parents.
Juan will be missed and not forgotten by me, or by many others as well.
If there is anything you need or I can do please call on me.
With much love, Chris and Karen Salay

It was a privlege to serve, smile, laugh and cry in my beer with Juan... the "Spotted Owl". Though the words are too risque for these pages, he led the boys in boisterous singing of the MULDOON song before many a Jump or Live Fire. His loss affects SO many people that he knew and the soldiers that knew him or even just simply "knew of him". His infectious humor was a force that caused everybody around him to smile and enjoy life... made it sweeter. Many of my fondest memories are of Solo, Shurko and I sharing a pint at the Wild Goose or the Camel Club in the Sinai. Nobody could ask for a better friend or comrade... Jumpmaster!!

I can't believe that it was 15 yrs ago when I met Juan, while working at our first job together at Traders Village. Thinking back on those times brings a smile to my face. He was always cutting up and making me laugh! He was that kind of person. Thats how I will always remember him, those were great memories for me. I had lost contact with Juan but when I heard the news it shocked and saddened me, like I had lost my best friend.
I also knew Gerald, his brother, we worked together as well. Gerald, Im thinking of you and praying for you and your family and hope that God gives you the strength to cope with your loss. I feel so blessed to have met such a wonderful person and I will miss Juan very much. Thank you Juan for giving so much of yourself and protecting our country.
May god bless you all.

I have known Gerald all my life, as my mother Isabel was a Solorio. I feel doubly bad not getting to know the sons better before this tragedy.
Juan made the ultimate sacrifice for our beloved country, and Fabian, and Longy mad such eloquent speeches at the rosery my heart was brimming with pride.
May God bless this family, and I'm sorry I didn't get a closer look at these fine young men growing up

After attending the rosary service for SSgt. Solorio on Sunday evening, we have been very moved by the expressions of love by and for the Solorio family. Even though we were not able to understand much of the things being said during the service, the outpouring of love and appreciation for SSgt. Solorio was overwhelming and moving. Thank you SSgt. Solorio for your ultimate sacrifice for our country and on behalf of the fight for freedom in other parts of the world! Patty & Angela

SALMO 23
El SEÑOR es mi pastor, nada me falta;
en verdes pastos el me hace reposar.
A las aguas de descanso me conduce,
y reconforta mi alma.
Por el camino del bueno me dirige,
por amor de su nombre.
Aunque pase por quebradas oscuras,
no temo ningun mal,
porque tu estas conmigo
con tu vara y tu baston,
y al verlas voy sin miedo.
La mesa has preparado para mi
frente a mis adversarios,
con aceites perfumas me cabeza
y rellenas mi copa.
Iran conmigo la dicha y tu favor
mientras dure mi vida,
mi mansion sera la casa del SEÑOR
por largos, largos dias.

Juan and I graduated H.S.H.P. together in 1991. Although we hadn't talked since high school, I still considered him as a friend. He was such a great guy! Juan, you will be truly missed. Thank you so much for fighting for OUR country. I want you to know that it's very much appreciated. May God bless you as you were protecting our lives while risking yours. Thank you ,Juan, for being so dedicated. It was an honor to know one of America's HEROS! May God bless your family and give them the strength to heal as they have lost a precious one. See you in heaven.

Our family is deeply sorry for our fallen American Hero, Sgt. Juan M. Solorio. I knew Juan through our families. His father, Gerardo and mother, Alicia were always super friendly people & just genuinely nice. They raised three great boys, all of which became admirable adults. I remember hearing stories from my sister, Lily, who attended Health Magnet School with their son, Juan, on how funny he was and how he was always smiling and making everyone laugh. My brother, Javier, skateboarded with him & other friends up and down the Western Park area and the Keenland Parkway area and for all we know who knows where else they skateboarded off to without our parents knowledge. They were good kids just having fun and Juan will be dearly missed by all who remember him. I am proud to know that he grew up to be an outstanding man, husband, father, brother, son and friend. He is truly an American Hero and his life story epitimizes all that is great about this great country of ours. To his wife, children, brothers & parents, I would just like to say one last thing, Juan's soul has touched us all and God give you strength for the sad times to come and know you are never alone, Juan lives on in your hearts, memories & and his two beautiful boys. God Bless!

I feel blessed to have known a special person in my life like Juan Solorio and I know he will always live and be remembered in our hearts. We originally met through the friendship of our parents, but when I think of Juan I remember riding the school bus during high school; we sat at the rear of the bus and we were always laughing. He was always smiling and joking around with everyone. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Solorio family. There will come a day when the tears of sorrow will softly flow into tears of remembrance... and your heart will begin to heal itself... and grieving will be interrupted by episodes of joy. God bless you.

Our love and prayers will always be there for you. May God Bless you.

It has been many years since last I spoke with Juan, yet details of his character and personality are as clear to me now as they were back in high school. Juan was a loving and caring man, with a great sense of adventure. The Army has lost a great soldier, America has lost a relentless protector, his comrades have lost a dear friend, and, most of all his family has lost their hero. We all cherish his memory, and thank him for serving his country honorably.

Juan is a second cousin of mine and I can remember the day he was born. I am older than him so he always treated me more like his Aunt which I will always cherish. Growing up he and his brothers were very close and taught to treat everyone with kindness and love. So there was never a time that we didn't hug & kiss at get togethers. He has been gone a long time in the service so I have not seen him in 10 years but I knew he was doing what he wanted and enjoying his career and his lovely family. Until we meet in heaven, we love you Juan.
Love and God Bless, Aunt Angela

I did not ever meet Juan, but I have been working with his brother Fabian for over two years. Fabian spoke a lot about his brother and I know that he was and still is very proud of his brother Juan. Being a veteran myself, I truly understand the pain the family is in right now. I will continue to remember the entire Solorio Family in my prayers as they deal with the lost of one of their beloved family members. God Bless!

Juan was a friend of mine from Health Magnet High School in Dallas. I was very honored to have known him. He is a great person. Although we hadn't seen each other since high school, I would still regard him as a friend. My prayers are with his friends and family

Juan was the first friend I made in high school and the last friend I said good-bye to as a Senior, I will always hold every special memory close to my heart. May God rest his soul, and bless his family.
