Juan Guerrero Obituary
Guerrero was at the nightclub with his boyfriend, Christopher "Drew" Leinonen, who was also killed.
A cousin told local news that Guerrero had only recently come out as gay to his family, who were "very accepting." Of Guerrero, the cousin said, "He was always this amazing person to me (and) he was like a big brother to me. He was never the type to go out to parties, would rather stay home and care for his niece and nephew."

Mi sentido pésame para la familia y amistades de Juan Ramon Guerrero. Hay una ezperanza que el Dios de todo consuelo nos promete, el de mantener a nuestros seres queridos en su memoria hasta su tiempo designado para la resurrección bajo su gobierno donde él 'limpiara toda lágrima de sus ojos, y la muerte no será más, ni existirá ya más lamento ni clamor ni dolor. Las cosas anteriores han pasado.'
Podremos seguir disfrutando de nuestros seres queridos bajo condiciones perfectas. Que Dios les dé fortaleza.

Juan, I will miss you deeply my friend! It was such a pleasure knowing you the last three years and it will hurt so much knowing that I will not see you again in this life. I think I told you once, that every moment we spend with one another is precious, so even if you only know someone just one night, that moment in time is forever a blessing.
Love you!

My partner Mark and I are grieving. We never knew you or Drew but draw parallels with your love. It sickens us that you and Drew were shortened the chance to explore this world together and experience it with all the love you both have in your hearts for each other and those around you. It is abundantly clear from all the photos and articles we've read about you and him that you were indeed soul mates and in love. That is a rarity for any two people to find. We do find some degree of solace knowing you two are still together and hope one day to meet you both. Our sincere, heartfelt condolences and sympathy goes out to you both as well as your families and friends. You and Drew along with your families are in our thoughts and prayers daily. Rest in Peace and Pride.

Rosie Littleton and family. May God keep you and Drew loving each other in paradise always. so sorry this happened to any of you. You and Drew have been on my mind since I first saw your picture together. Probably because he looks like my son, Shaun. I pray that your family is wrapped in His arms during this difficult time. May you both rest in peace and continue to love each other in paradise as you did here on earth. Dios los bendiga y cuide sempre.

I was devastated to learn Juan was one of the terror attack victims. I had the distinct priveledge and honor of having Juan as a student in my math class his senior year of high school. Each time I think of him, I still see his beautiful, smiling face in my mind. He was always so very happy, sweet, friendly, funny, respectful, courteous, caring, honest, and studious. He was such a wonderful person. I was truly blessed to know him, and the world is a better place because of him. I desperately wanted to attend his funeral, and I have been trying to find details of the date and time all week. Unfortunately, in my nightly online search for funeral plans, I just found out that the funeral took place earlier today. My heart sank and my stomach turned when I read that. I can't believe I missed Juan's funeral; my heart is breaking even more right now. I am so very upset and sorry that I wasn't there to honor him; please accept my sincerest and deepest apology. Juan was an incredible person whom I will never forget and will always keep in my heart. Thank you for gifting me and humanity with Juan. I am so very sorry for your loss. Much love and prayers to you all.

My boyfriend and I didn't know you. But we all shared the same love and views. May you and Drew smile from heaven above knowing that we will keep fighting for our rights as gay men. Love you!

In our hearts and in our prayers.
"Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there; I did not die".
