Thinking of you Juan. My heart still aches from losing you without really saying goodbye. I thank god and am greatful for the time I did have with you. When I visited you in Washington it was cold, wet, and rainy but, somehow I didn't realize it until you mentioned it. When I was with you, it was like holding the sun. You were such a warm hearted, funny, and crazy person. Your voice, and smile just lit up my soul and made me so happy when at such a time I was struggling to be happy. Together I could fly again because you had as free of a spirit as I did. Without you, once again I am lost. Everyday I must remind myself of the person I was with you because that person is who I want to be. Thank you Juan for showing me the hope, love and flame inside of me when I was living in dark times. Now that I have a son, I hope that I can raise him into a brave, loving, kind, funny, and sincere man like you. I love you still and always will Juan. You were "Juan In a Million." :)

Praying that your soul may rest in everlasting peace, with our Loving Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our God blessed us all with your presence here on earth; you touched the lives of so many and continue to do so, as we all share your memories. Your legacy lives in the hearts of people accross this entire world, not just in your family. Your mission was bigger, was wider, was deeper, much more profound, because it had to be condensed in such a short time. I pray that Our Blessed Mother Ever Virgin join you in pleading to her Son for consolation and peace to be brought to the aching hearts of your loving family that still yearns for you. May their pain and sorrow be eased as they come to know just how glorious it is to know the freedom you feel now.

Prayer Shawls 4 Fallen Soldiers ([email protected]) is an organization with groups throughout the country who strive to send handmade prayer shawls and/ or lap robes to families who have lost a loved one in service to our country. Members of Trindle Spring Lutheran Church in Mechanicsburg, PA would like to honor your son's sacrifice and memory by sending our prayers and comfort through a shawl which we will mail to you. If you are interested, please contact me at [email protected] with the names and addresses and what they would like to receive. We will send them as soon as possible. Also, if you know of any other families who are grieving the loss of a loved one who died serving our country, please pass along my e-mail address, as our organization can no longer get family contacts through the military. May God bless you and comfort you in the days ahead. Sincerely, Lynne

My heart goes out to this very special soldier that served and protected our nation. God has wrapped his loving arms around you. I could never feel the hurt of losing a child, but I know it's a pain that can't be expressed. I have 2 sons that serve for our military and fear was instilled within me when they were on tour everyday.. All my love & prayers to the family.. God bless you all!

While driving with my five year-old "brother," we inadvertently became a part of Juan's procession along I-35 near Round Rock on Wednesday. What a humbling event to be a part of. The respect & honor paid by others in uniform (firefighters, police, veterans) & civilians with hands crossing their hearts & standing tall with our flag, is an experience that taught us a powerful lesson of honor, respect, & sacrifice -- the truest form of love. We will carry this with us. You are being lifted in prayer as we remember Juan's sacrificial life. Thank you for sharing the 85 photos. It helps us feel connected to your family as you experience this loss & celebrate Juan's life. My "brother" is an aspiring Army member, and continues to ask about "Sgt. Navarro." My heart hurts for you. We love you.

Freedom is not free, there is a cost. I will be overlooking I-35 as Sgt. Navarro and his loved ones pass through Round Rock to pay my respects. It's a time to reflect on what we have and why we have it. May you be given peace and comfort.

I know there are no words to say at this time, except how sorry that I am. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Juan will never be forgotten.

For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I'm home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I'm only a civilian
And I don't even know if it's allowed

But I salute you; allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
Even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
My humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.
I salute you.

For those missing in action;
for those who didn't make it home.
I know you're in God's presence you are not alone.
For every neatly folded flag;
for every shattered family
I will do the only thing I know to dignify your memory.

I salute you, allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
my humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.

I salute you .

I Salute You.

The first time I met Juan P. Navarro was as his Kindergarten teacher at Barrington Elementary. He was intelligent, expressive, cooperative, curious,and caring. He made friends easily and was very respectful to all. I was able to shake his hand on stage when he graduated from Lanier in 2007. I saw him before he left for the service. I am so proud of all that he accomplished and taught us through his life. I will always remember that beautiful smile.
