Mr Juan Antonio Duran

Juan Antonio Duran, known as ‘Nano’ to his grandchildren-who brought him such joy-was born on November 19, 1956, to Juan Jose Duran and Matilde Melendez in El Salvador. He was called home to Heaven on Thursday morning, June 2, 2022, surrounded by his loving family.

Juan Duran married his loving wife Rosa Angelica Duran Orellana and set goals to better the lives of his family and children. He worked hard to achieve the goals he set for himself. He was a loving, hardworking, God-fearing, and God-serving husband, father, and grandfather who always wanted the best for all his family and friends.

He lived in Stockton for the past 22 years.

Juan was a smog technician for over thirty years and continued his education when needed. Juan enjoyed going to church, reading the bible, working on cars, he enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and maintaining a beautiful pasture in his home.
