Not sure what to say?

Juan was always very kind to me growing up in Kelseyville. At the age of fifteen before I had my drivers license I put my Dad's GMC pickup in the ditch whi not paying attention to what I should have and thanks to Juan I got out and Dad was none the wiser.
Later in life I returned to Kelseyville to hunt wild turkey's and Juan gave me permission to hunt out at his ranch. I will ever be grateful for that opportunity.
Loved his passion for life.

Vern worked with Mr. Erquiaga at the Passion Play for many years. The horses he drove were always beautifully groomed and followed his lead as if they were enjoying themselves. He will be remembered fondly by the cast members and behind-the-scenes crew. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Beautiful Memorial Service & Tributes

We have lost a truly wonderful man. My daughter, Cindy, boarded her horse at Juan's ranch all through high school. He was so good to her and she adored him. Even after she left for college every time I saw Juan he always asked how she was. He was one of a kind and there are not many like him around anymore. Our sympathies go out to his family we are so sorry for their loss. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him. RIP Juan and keep those reins steady.

So sorry to hear about Juan's passing. He was a great person and I feel very lucky to have known him. My thoughts are with his family during this sad time.

One of the truly "Good Guys". Helped me all through my adult life, from construction to "Babe" the horse for my daughter. You will be missed.
