Juan Eguia Orozco

"Papi Juan" / "El Sordo"

24 de marzo de 1941 – 1 de agosto de 2025

Con profundo dolor, pero con inmenso agradecimiento por una vida plena y llena de amor, anunciamos el fallecimiento de Juan Eguia Orozco, cariñosamente conocido como Papi Juan y recordado con ternura por muchos como El Sordo. Falleció en paz el 1 de agosto de 2025, en Sherman, Texas, a la edad de 84 años.

Juan nació el 24 de marzo de 1941 en Matamoros, Tamaulipas, México, hijo de Pedro Eguia y María Isabel Orozco. Fue un esposo devoto para Celia Rodríguez Padrón, y un orgulloso padre de Leticia, Ramón, Roberto, Isabel y Juan Eguia. Su legado continúa vivo en el amor de sus 17 nietos y 22 bisnietos, quienes fueron una fuente inmensa de alegría para él y a quienes amó profundamente.

Hombre de carácter firme, corazón generoso y espíritu alegre, Juan fue el pilar de su familia. Era conocido por su calidez, su inquebrantable amor por los suyos y su particular sentido del humor. Disfrutaba de los placeres sencillos: escuchar música o la radio, contar historias de su juventud, hacer reír a sus nietos con sus bromas y frases inolvidables como: "Juan Eguia Orozco cuando comó no conozco."

Tenía un don único para dar apodos cariñosos que hacían sentir especiales a quienes los recibían: "Chabelita," "mi chaparrita," "mi campeón," "mi bebé," "mi orgullo," "mi adoración." Su legado también vive en las memorias de su acordeón, los paseos en su Impala beige del '66, y las anécdotas que seguirán contándose por generaciones.

Le sobreviven su amada esposa Celia, sus hijos, nietos, bisnietos, y su hermano Eduardo Eguia. Lo precedieron en la muerte sus padres, Pedro y María Isabel, y sus hermanos Griselda, Miguel, María de Lourdes y María.

Los servicios funerarios se llevarán a cabo el jueves 7 de agosto de 2025, de 6:00 p.m. a 8:00 p.m., en Waldo Funeral Home, en Sherman, TX. La misa católica en celebración de su vida se realizará el viernes 8 de agosto de 2025, a la 1:00 p.m., en la Iglesia Católica de Santa Ana (St. Anne's Catholic Church).

La vida de Juan estuvo marcada por la risa, la música, el amor y la entrega incondicional a su familia. Deja tras de sí un legado de fortaleza, historias entrañables y un amor sincero que vivirá por siempre en los corazones de quienes tuvieron el privilegio de conocerlo.
