Beloved husband, father, and cherished grandfather, Juan P. Leyva will be remembered on Tuesday, June 15, 2021, as a man of integrity, whose patience and dedication to his grandchildren fill our hearts with joy, and whose giving nature helped fulfill his duty to the community.

Lovingly nicknamed "Tito" by his 11 grandchildren, he is survived by his wife Jilma of over 50 years, and his four children: Jilma, Veronica, Juan Carlos, and Ernesto. He also leaves behind two loving sisters and a brother.

Although we are deeply saddened by his loss, we are left with everlasting memories. A family man, and a man of faith, he was known for his quick wit and a strong sense of humor. He was a confident speaker and a natural-born leader. He was our rock and our adviser, a constant presence in our tight-knit family.
