     Juan was born on October 1, 1951, in San Felipe, Guanajuato, Mexico, to Reymundo Aguinaga Peralta and Felisa Cervantes Luna. He was raised in San Felipe, where he spent his childhood and early years before marrying the love of his life, Esther Torres Carrillo, on February 11, 1976. Together, Juan and Esther began building a life and a family grounded in love, devotion, and perseverance. Eventually, Juan made the courageous journey to the United States in pursuit of a better life for his family. Through his hard work and determination, he helped create a future that would eventually bring his family together in Oklahoma. It was there that Juan and Esther had the joy of watching their family grow and flourish across generations. In 2026, they were blessed to celebrate an extraordinary milestone—50 years of marriage, a testament to a lifetime of love, commitment, and partnership. Juan was a hardworking and humble man who dedicated much of his life to working in agriculture. He was quiet by nature, but those who knew him understood the depth of his kindness and the love he carried for his family. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who worked tirelessly to ensure that his family was cared for and never doubted how deeply they were loved. In his later years, Juan found joy in the simple things that brought him happiness. He enjoyed watching television, visiting casinos, and traveling to Mexico to spend time with his family. But more than anything, Juan cherished the moments he shared with the people he loved most. His grandchildren held a particularly special place in his heart and were truly his world. Juan leaves behind a legacy built not only through his years of hard work, but through the love he gave so freely to his family. His quiet strength, gentle spirit, and unwavering devotion will live on in the generations he helped create. He will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

    Juan nació el 1 de octubre de 1951 en San Felipe, Guanajuato, México, hijo de Reymundo Aguinaga Peralta y Felisa Cervantes Luna. Creció en San Felipe, donde pasó su infancia y juventud, antes de casarse con el amor de su vida, Esther Torres Carrillo, el 11 de febrero de 1976. Juntos, Juan y Esther comenzaron a construir una vida y una familia basada en el amor, la dedicación y la perseverancia. Con el tiempo, Juan emprendió el valiente camino hacia los Estados Unidos en busca de una vida mejor para su familia. Con su arduo trabajo y determinación, ayudó a construir un futuro que, con el tiempo, permitiría que su familia se reuniera con él en Oklahoma. Fue allí donde Juan y Esther tuvieron la dicha de ver crecer y florecer a su familia a través de nuevas generaciones. En 2026, tuvieron la bendición de celebrar un acontecimiento extraordinario: 50 años de matrimonio, un testimonio de toda una vida de amor, compromiso y compañerismo. Juan fue un hombre trabajador y humilde que dedicó gran parte de su vida al trabajo en la agricultura. Era un hombre de pocas palabras, pero quienes lo conocieron comprendían la profundidad de su bondad y el gran amor que llevaba en su corazón por su familia. Fue un esposo, padre y abuelo dedicado, que trabajó incansablemente para asegurarse de que a su familia no le faltara nada y que nunca dudaran de cuánto los amaba. En sus últimos años, Juan disfrutaba de las cosas sencillas que le brindaban felicidad. Le gustaba ver televisión, visitar los casinos y viajar a México para pasar tiempo con su familia. Pero, por encima de todo, Juan atesoraba los momentos que compartía con las personas que más amaba. Sus nietos ocupaban un lugar especialmente importante en su corazón y eran, verdaderamente, su mundo. Juan deja un legado construido no solo a través de sus años de arduo trabajo, sino también por medio del amor que entregó generosamente a su familia. Su fortaleza silenciosa, su espíritu bondadoso y su dedicación incondicional permanecerán vivos en las generaciones que ayudó a formar. Será profundamente extrañado, recordado con amor y atesorado para siempre por todos aquellos que tuvieron el privilegio de conocerlo.
