Somewhere between 2005-2008 Mr John Moreno would come in and eat at a restaurant carries cafe I was his server. He would always ask for me, his words of wisdom had a big impact in my life and thankful that he was there to guide me thru what life was going to be like. He didn´t know me nor me knew him but great advises. Thank you John May you rest easy

My Tio John Moreno meant so much to many people throughout the valley of Az including his own family of 3 and grandchildren to live to the fullest.
It was with breaking heart to have heard he had passed away.
With his family by his side he prepared a day for us all to remember his life with a celebration that he has risen to another journey where this no worries but ever lasting life in heaven.
To reunite with family above he sung his way in letting them know he was joining in with them as angels now.
He will be deeply be missed by us all and his city of El mirage friends and family.
Rip Tio John Moreno
My dad Eddie and him are having fun.❤

I just want to say how much Johnny will be missed by me and many others. Johnny and I grew up together , worked together and served our City together. Johnny always referred to me as Brother Robert and I in turn always called him Brother Johnny. I will miss his humor and his joking around. Johnny loved music and singing. He was the best when it came to singing. I will always remember when me and my wife Lipa were at a dance he would come over with the Mariachi and sing our favorite song for us. Sabor A MI.. I will always remember my Brother Johnny and miss him. May God Bless you and Keep until we all meet in Heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ.
