Juan Cajigas Obituary

Juan M. Cajigas, 64, of Manchester, and formerly of Stafford Springs, passed away Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2015, at Manchester Memorial Hospital after a hard-fought battle with ALS.

He was born in Aguada, Puerto Rico, son of the late Francisco and Romona (Gonzalez) Cajigas. Juan had worked as a certified nurse's aid at Evergreen Health Care Center.

The world lost a proud, yet gentle, soul and heaven gained an angel. He will forever ride his motorcycle in heaven. His life's work as a CNA was also the joy of his life, as were his family and friends.

Juan is survived by his six children, Maria Cajigas-Diaz, Francisco Cajigas, Juan M. Cajigas Jr., Martha Smith, Jessica Cajigas, and Constance Clines-Alicea; several grandchildren; his fiancée, Diane Usher; three sisters, Iris, Gloria, and Margo; brother, George; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Juan's life Saturday, Oct. 3, from 3 to 6 p.m. with a memorial service to take place at 6 p.m. at Stafford Springs Congregational Church, 3 Main St., Stafford Springs. Burial will take place privately in Puerto Rico.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to The ALS Association, Gift Processing Center, P.O. Box 6051, Albert Lea, MN 56007.

Introvigne Funeral Home, Stafford Springs, has care of the arrangements.
