Juan Manuel Soto Aguilar was born on November 8, 1962, and passed away on May 23, 2025. He was a wonderful husband to Maria Soto, and a great father to Hilda Soto Valencia, Juan Soto Jr., and Tony Soto. He was a loving Abuelito to Julieana Valencia, Julio Valencia Jr., Natalia Soto, Emery Soto, and Ezekiel Soto.

He was a great man with a huge heart, and worked tirelessly to provide for his family.  He was very kind and generous with his family, friends, and strangers.  He would do everything he could to help anyone in need.

He deeply enjoyed spending time with his family.  He especially loved going to the beach, lakes, rivers, and mountains.  He enjoyed family gatherings where he would have a glass of wine, grill, and tell great stories.

Juan loved to be with his family and friends, but nothing brought him greater joy than to spend time with his grandchildren. He loved to see them laugh and would often play games with them.  He loved to tell everyone about his grandchildren because they were a bright light in his life.

He left us too soon but we will forever hold him in our hearts. We will miss him forever.
