Hilardo Juarez

Hilardo “Lalo” Juarez, Jr. was born on June 29th, 1950 in Presidio, Texas. His life was filled with learning, loving, and truly living.

Lalo’s laugh and smile were infectious. They filled the room like soft sunlight on a Saturday morning. He truly loved to put a smile on anyone's face– from a stranger to a familiar friend.

He was a true outdoorsman who spent his days soaking up the sun, tinkering in his backyard, and listening to his tunes. Early in his life, he was a scoutleader and coach for his children, and later a cheerleader for his grandchildren. He enjoyed teaching those in his life everything and anything he knew– from chess playing, to car fixing, to Biblical understanding. Sports were one of his favorite pastimes; and lately, he enjoyed cheering on the Lobo Basketball team alongside his loved ones.

Lalo’s entire life has been the epitome of hard work and dedication. He lived to love and care for his family, and was constantly there to ‘save the day.’ He has always been a hardworking man, in every realm of his life. He’s worked as a Plant Operator, Measurement Tech, and more. He loved to learn anything and everything he could while working for Amoco and DCP Midstream.

Lalo was also an avid volunteer with Trinity Temple Assembly of God and consistently helped with food distribution and the annual love feast. He also helped with funerary meals and preparation at Our Lady of Grace when he was needed. Lalo was quick to step up and help those in need and has one of the kindest hearts someone could have.

He was called to his eternal resting place among the angels on March 19th, 2025. He will be missed dearly.

Lalo Juarez is preceded in death by his parents, Hilardo Sr. and Eloisa Juarez, brothers, Paulo and Francisco Juarez, and grandson, Hilardo Perez Juarez, IV.

Pallbearers will include his loved ones: Stephen Bolaños, Prudencio “Salvador” Briseño, Marcos Juarez, Daniel Juarez, Gabriel Briseño, Ricardo Juarez, Fernando Juarez, Isaac Ornelas.

Honorary Pallbearers include Karina and Natalia Bolaños, close friends, and coworkers.

There are many left to cherish his memory, and they will– forever. He is survived by the love of his life, Delores Juarez; his children, Hilardo “Lalo” Juarez, III, Israel Juarez, Arabella Bolaños and Husband Stephen Bolaños; his grandchildren, Aundrea Gutierrez, Marissa Juarez, Karina Bolaños, Raquel Juarez, and Natalia Bolaños; his great-grandchildren, Masiela Juarez and Jeffrey Gutíerrez; his siblings, Graciela Arnold, Raymond Juarez, Virginia Villalva, Ricardo Juarez, Rosa Briseño, Delia Briseño, and José Luis Juarez; and many more nieces, nephews, friends, and family. To know him was to love him.
