In Loving Memory Of
Juan Iglesias, 78, passed away peacefully at his home in Lavaca, Arkansas, on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Born on July 5, 1946, in Santiago, Cuba, Juan was the son of Juan Iglesias Isidro and Amalia Iglesias de Rodriguez. He married the love of his life, Lidia Reyes, and together they shared thirty-seven wonderful years.
Juan was a man of deep faith, known for his honesty, reliability, and strong work ethic. He earned a degree in automotive mechanics from Lincoln Tech and went on to become a co-owner of Ju-Bin Auto in Oakland Park, Florida. Outside of work, he found joy in riding his motorcycle and collecting knives and belt buckles. A devoted supporter of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital for over twenty years, Juan believed strongly in giving back to those in need.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Lidia and their son Daniel Adam; his children, John Joseph Iglesias and JoLynn Iglesias and their mother Virginia Soler; his grandchildren, Jon-Michael Rodriguez, Alyssa Rose Iglesias, Angelica Iglesias, and Gabrielle Septembre; his great-grandchildren, Logan and Bella Rodriguez. Juan was preceded in death by his parents and sister Jenny Navarro.
Juan will be deeply missed by his family and many friends, but his memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. Cremation is under the thoughtful care of River Glenn Cremation and Funeral Services.
