Juan Olivarez Obituary

Juan Jose (John) Olivarez April 14, 1953 - June 13, 2010 Juan Jose (John) Olivarez, 57, passed away after a strong year long battle with cancer, in the privacy of his own home peacefully with the presence of his loving family on June 13, 2010. John was born on April 14, 1953 in Kingsville, TX to parents Severa and Pedro Olivarez. He was raised in the King Ranch where he worked as a cowboy since he was 12 years old. He had an avid love for hunting and fishing. He moved his family to California from Corpus Christi, TX 23 years ago. He took pride and was known for his specialty skill of Tig Welding. He was employed at San Joaquin Refining Company for 16 years. Anyone who had the pleasure of meeting John were inspired by his strength, courage, determination and willingness to share his numerous abilities with others. He was a very dedicated man to his family and enjoyed watching drag racing, boxing, professional bull riding, his favorite football team the Raiders, and had a love for building and riding custom chopper motorcycles. John is survived by his loving wife of 35 years, Gloria; his daughters, Lianne Olivarez of Bakersfield, CA and Lauren Olivarez of Los Angeles, CA; his sons, Nathan Olivarez and Jacob Olivarez of Bakersfield, CA; his grandson, Ladon; his sisters, San Juana Rios, Billie Garcia and Rosie Reyes of Kingsville, TX, Linda Quintanilla and Delma Flores of Corpus Christi, TX, Elva Quintanilla and Lisa Alaniz of Pasadena, TX and Rebecca Cabrera of Callallen, TX; and his brother, Albert Garcia of Kingsville, TX. We would like to thank all our friends, family, Margie Fotis and The Saunders family, Dr. Risbud, Dr. Selgman, Hoffmann Hospice, San Joaquin Hospital and all their staff members. Your prayers and support are greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
