Juan Solis, a friendly and just man. I grew up next door to his parents, wonderful people, and being in their home I saw a guitar on the wall of a bedroom, which belonged to Mr. Solis, and ever since then I have enjoyed playing a guitar. I have several guitars now. Every time I play one of my guitars, I remember that guitar on the wall. Juan, you will always be remembered.

My condolences to Suzanne and family .
Juan was my neighbor in Sebastian, TX, he was more like a big brother and his parents our bonus grandparents. He was our babysitter and always had fun activities for us. My siblings and I admired Juan and will cherish the memories always.

My sincerest condolences to the Solis family-Suzanne, Marcos, Melissa and family for your loss. Juan was such a dear friend. My fondest memories are of his jolly laugh, his upbeat personality and dedication to helping kids /teachers succeed. His humor would impact an audience yet leave them in awe at his knowledge and wisdom. His creativity and love of unique things impressed you when you walked into his office or his home. He always made time for friends to laugh and enjoy life. I will miss you dearly my friend. May the Lord bless you and your family during this time of sadness.
Your friend
