Juan Morales Obituary

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of my beloved husband, father & papa, Juan Antonio Morales. Juan was born on April 16, 1948, in South Bronx, NY. Juan grew up in El Cerrito, CA. and graduated from El Cerrito High School in 1966.He married Christina Perez in 1978. They raised three beautiful daughters, Katie, Angie, and Natalie. Two grandchildren Noemi, and Lorenzo. He was predeceased by his parents, Pedro & Catalina Morales, and brother, Raul. Juan was proud to be an Electrician and worked for IBEW Local 302 for 45 years. He loved his "happy place" at our cabin in Pioneer and loved our visits to the casinos. Juan loved music, especially Tower of Power, and our yearly trips to Arizona for Spring Training to see his beloved Dodgers. We love you, sweetheart. My life is empty without you, until we meet again. God bless you my love. In the spirit of "Juan in a Millon", no services will be held.

Dear Chris, Katie, Angie and Natalie,
Chris, we have known each other since the children were in grade school. Our girls were friends then and have continued their friendship to this day. I hope that through their friendship they will find comfort and a shoulder to lean on during this time. Chris, I know this is so devastating for you. Juan was such a wonderful man and this makes the loss so great. I know you have your sisters, daughters and other family but just always remember I am here for anything you need. With sadness I send all of you my love and hugs. God bless you and may our Mother Mary wrap you in her cloak where you can feel comforted and loved. Diane

Thinking of you, Chris and the girls in your time of sorrow. Juan was special, one of the good ones, always a gentlemen. I always enjoyed when you would come to visit us in Pioneer, and when we would go camping together. Never forget those days. Take care Chris and family.

Thank you for sharing this memory John. It made us laugh because it is such a Juan moment, he was a character to say the least.

I met Juan in 1981 at Shell. He was definitely one in a million with his drag up pants and great work ethic. I went to 49er games back then and he was there. Later in 1997 we worked together at Tesoro on a burn job. I always enjoyed working with him. I remember him saying "How bizarre ". And him telling me he burned his lawn with cow manure.
Always in good spirits and fun to be around.
I´m so sorry for your loss.
