Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Sunday January 11, 2015

JUAREZ, LONNIE G. JR. On Wednesday, January 7, 2015, as the full moon began to wane and friends and loved ones prayed mightily for a peaceful transition, Lonnie Grassi Juarez, Jr., arrived in the loving arms of his parents, Refugio "Cuca" Valencia Juarez and Lonnie Grassi Juarez, Sr., and at his home with our dear Lord in heaven. Lonnie (a.k.a., Dad, Abuelo, The Chief, Uncle Lonnie, Bro, Cuz, Mr. Juarez, "Dr. J," and Lon) continues to guide and inspire us with his optimistic and positive outlook, steadfast encouragement, pioneering of computer technology and social media, push for continued learning, coaching of others to greater excellence, patient and caring leadership, passion for cooking, larger-than-life smile and laughter, fun-loving warmth and love, fondness for westerns, football, and beautiful women, and unwavering strength, courage, faith, wisdom, and integrity. We celebrate Lonnie's life and the lessons that he shared with us now and forever.
