Juan Varela's Legacy

Donation protected
Our beloved son, brother, and father Juan has passed and is now in his Father's arms. Juan was selfless and loved you, and we all know he would do anything for anyone. His vibrant charisma and charming personality lives on in each of our memories.

With his unexpected passing we are in need of assistance with funeral expenses. Juan is survived by his only son, Matias, whom he loved with every ounce of his being. In addition to covering funeral expenses, your donations will go towards starting a fund for Matias as well.
We thank you so much for your words of comfort and sharing wonderful stories of Juan!

If there is one thing that our family has learned from this experience, it’s that we can ALL do a better job at checking in with our loved ones. WE must take the first step and make the first move. Though Juan was always making us laugh and helping others, he was having a grueling battle with severe depression. This may come as a complete surprise to some, but it was his reality.

Often those who need our help the most aren’t showing signs that they need someone to reach out to them. These conversations and interactions can be painful or uncomfortable; We may feel it’s “not our place”, or “none of our business”, but they are absolutely critical. None of us can afford to be thinking this way anymore, and we ask that moving forward you promise to yourself to never put off reaching out to a loved one. We can all do a better job at leading with empathy, love and concern, just as Juan would. Become the person your loved one’s can’t wait to talk to and confide in about any and everything. That is our goal moving forward. That is Juan’s Legacy.
