On November 1, 1978 in Mexico, parents Guadalupe and Gloria (Sandoval) Serrato celebrated the birth of their only son, Juan. From a young age, Juan valued his family above all else. He was especially close with his mother Gloria and spent his formative years caring for her while she was in the hospital.
Juan eventually moved to Minnesota where a new chapter of his life began. While out with friends, Juan noticed a young woman, Lynn Majiwa, celebrating her 21 st birthday. He approached her and they danced the night away. This was just the beginning of the best years of Juan’s life.
Juan’s definition of family was all encompassing—he was not only a proud husband and father, but an amazing uncle. Juan greatly anticipated becoming a great-uncle with the family’s newest addition. As a family, they enjoyed time on Prior Lake, grilling, fishing, and making memories together. Juan also loved cheering on the Las Vegas Raiders and playing video games with his sons.
Juan was proud of his accomplishments. For sixteen years, Juan was a manager at Walcro flooring. While he had a humble beginning and faced obstacles in life, Juan was passionate and hardworking. He constantly strived to improve and wanted the best for everyone else.
A generous and dedicated man, Juan is missed by his wife, Lynn and their sons, Alejandro and Christian; father, Guadalupe; sister, Marina (Fernando) Vasquez; nieces and nephews, Fernando, Daniel, Tyler, Olivia; many other loving relatives and friends.
Juan is reunited in Heaven with his mother, Gloria.
