Juan Enrique "Ricky o Kike" Najera, de 53 años, falleció el 15 de agosto de 2025 en Fort Worth, Texas.

Nacido el 16 de julio de 1972 en Sabinas, Coahuila, México, el señor Najera fue una persona que, desde temprana edad, se destacó por su alegría, carisma y sentido del humor. Conocido afectuosamente por sus apodos "Ricky" o "Kike", fue admirado y querido por todos aquellos que tuvieron el privilegio de conocerlo. Su capacidad para provocar sonrisas y brindar consuelo a través de su presencia dejó una huella imborrable en la vida de muchos.

A lo largo de su vida, Juan Enrique demostró un espíritu generoso y un corazón lleno de bondad. Siempre dispuesto a ofrecer una palabra amable, una broma o una mano solidaria, supo ganarse el cariño de quienes lo rodeaban.
