Juan Gabriel Obituary
TMZ reported that Gabriel died in Santa Monica, California, of a suspected heart attack, and no foul play was expected.
"He has passed on to become part of eternity and has left us his legacy through Juan Gabriel, the character created by him for all the music that has been sung and performed all around the world," his press office said in a statement.
Gabriel had just performed a concert Friday night at The Forum in Los Angeles. He was in the middle of a large concert tour of the United States. The tour featured 22 dates and was called the MeXXico Es Todos tour. Last year, Gabriel earned over $11 million in tour revenue.

The Mexican singer-songwriter sold over 30 million records in his career. His last album, “Los Duo,” was the top-selling Latin album of the year in 2015.
Gabriel was born Alberto Aguilera Valadez in the town of Paracuaro, Michoacan, in 1950. He signed his first record contract in 1971 when he was 21. He then changed his name to Juan Gabriel.
He was known for his colorful stage presence and flamboyant outfits along with his songs about love and heartbreak. Some of his best-known songs are "Hasta Que Te Conoci" ("Until I Met You") and "Amor Eterno" ("Eternal Love").
Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto said through his official Twitter account: "I regret the death of Juan Gabriel, one of the great musical icons of our country. My condolences to his relatives and friends."

When I met my Puerto Rican husband 30 years ago he introduced me to the singers, music, customs, etc. of all the Latin American countries. He taught me merengue, bachata,cumbia, salsa,etc. but we never danced to Juan Gabriel because his music was meant to be listened to. He became my favorite singer and I was heart broken when I heard of his death on August 28, 2016. Two weeks later we had to put our 14 year Chow to sleep because Cha Cho had cancer. I immediately went out hunting for a dog and found one who had been wandering around in a nearby town and placed in Animal Services for a month. The staff loved him and named him Tanner. He was just what I was looking for and thought it would be easy to rename him Gabriel. This was one month after Juan Gabriel died. I met a woman who said "Oh, you got him. I wanted him so bad but my daughter said I couldn't handle such a large dog. I am glad you got him." To me he is un regalo de Juan Gabriel because Juan loved animals. I can't wait until we are all in cielo and I can introduce my Gabriel to the wonderful man I named him after.

Mi sentido pésame para la familia y amistades de Juan Gabriel. Su música vivirá eternamente. Igualmente, el Dios de todo consuelo nos promete mantener a nuestros seres queridos en su memoria hasta su tiempo designado para la resurrección bajo su gobierno donde él 'limpiara toda lágrima de sus ojos, y la muerte no será más, ni existirá ya más lamento ni clamor ni dolor. Las cosas anteriores han pasado.'
Podremos seguir disfrutando de nuestros seres queridos bajo condiciones perfectas. Que Dios les dé fortaleza.

Love and respect in your eyes was seen and reflected toward and in every musician and artist gracing each concert and performance. Many talented in music have gone before you, but none captured what music and the eternal search of love, respect, talent, giving and caring captured by one. Thank you for sharing your life, your talent and blessings with us as we pass through these moments in time. You left with us more than you could imagine.

Mi mas sentido pésame para la familia y amigos de Juan Gabriel. Cuando alguien querido fallece es algo muy doloroso. Pasamos por altas y bajas cuando nos recordamos de ellos. Pero nuestro Dios de consuelo nos da una esperanza. Apocalipsis 21:3,4 nos dice que pronto ya no habrá muerte, y que toda lágrima será limpiada.
Espero que nuestro Padre Celestial les siga dando el consuelo para sobrellevar el dolor que sienten.

Juan ha colocado su huella en este mundo, que no olvida su vida como un niño, que le dio a la vida de muchos niños que tenían el mismo camino a seguir como un niño de 4 años. Usted mostró al mundo latino que si usted cree en sí mismo que puede hacerlo en la vida ... y wow ... que la historia de la vida ... Juan lo has hecho así? Sí lo hizo ... Ve con Dios ahora y él me dirá usted ... trabajo bien hecho ... hay que compartir con los demás el espíritu de "si creer y tener conferencia en sí mismo y nunca olvidaríamos su pasado y el niño campana que puede lograr y en la rica la vida de los demás en sus talentos musicales ...Valerio José New Orleans,Louisiana,
