Dickinson, Texas
Juan Manuel Morales Sr. falleció pacíficamente tras una larga y dolorosa enfermedad, y su familia encuentra consuelo en saber que finalmente está en paz y ya no sufre. En sus últimos días, fue rodeado por su familia y encontró paz antes de su partida.
Juan fue pintor autónomo durante la mayor parte de su vida. Su obra se puede encontrar en muchos barrios de las comunidades circundantes. Para sus hijos, pasar en coche por esas casas siempre será un recordatorio de que una parte de él permanece. Pintar no era solo su trabajo; era su oficio y a menudo ayudaba a otros que necesitaban ayuda.
Era conocido por ser alguien que acudía cuando alguien necesitaba ayuda.
Tenía un inmenso amor por la vida y un don para el humor. A Juan le encantaba hacer reír a la gente, y ese don perdura a través de sus hijos. Muchos de los que le conocieron recuerdan sus bromas, su forma de contar historias y la forma en que podía iluminar un ambiente.
Juan fue precedido en la muerte por sus padres, Agustina Pérez y Francisco Morales Valdez, y por sus hermanos, José Ubaldo Macias Pérez y María del Carmen Delira.
Le sobreviven sus hijos: Sylvia Locklear y su marido Jeff Locklear, y sus hijos Anasofia, John y Johanna; Juan Manuel Morales Jr. y su esposa Cristina Morales, y su hija Sarai; Mayra Alexandra Morales y su pareja Jorge Galván, y sus hijos Pricilla, Saul y Jizelle; Erica Aleman y su marido Ruben Aleman, y sus hijas Evelyn y Arely; Ivan Morales y su esposa Selena Morales, y su hija Navi; Antonia Elizabeth Ayala y su hija Avani; y su hijastra, Cassandra Banessa Holguin.
En su última etapa de enfermedad, Juan fue cuidado con cariño por su hija, Mayra Alexandra Morales, que cocinaba con él y convivía con él, y por su hijo Juan Manuel Morales Jr. y Cristina, quienes le abrieron su hogar y le apoyaron durante su lucha contra el cáncer.
Aunque la vida no siempre siguió un camino fácil, Juan será recordado como un hombre trabajador, padre, abuelo, amigo y un hombre que hacía reír a quienes le rodeaban. Su familia encuentra paz creyendo que ahora está en la misericordia de Dios, sanado y libre de dolor.

Juan Manuel Morales Sr. passed away peacefully after a long and painful illness, and his family finds comfort in knowing he is finally at rest and no longer suffering. In his final days, he was surrounded by family and had peace before his passing.
Juan was a self-employed painter for most of his life. His work can be found throughout many neighborhoods across the surrounding communities. For his children, driving past those homes will always be a reminder that a piece of him remains. Painting was not just his job; it was his craft, and he often helped others who needed a hand.
He had an immense love of life. He was known as someone who would show up when people needed help. He had a gift for humor. Juan loved making people laugh, and that gift lives on through his children. Many who met him remember his jokes, his storytelling, and the way he could lighten a room.
Juan was preceded in death by his parents, Augustina Perez and Francisco Morales Valdez, and by his siblings, José Ubaldo Macias Pérez and María del Carmen Delira.
He is survived by his children: Sylvia Locklear and husband Jeff Locklear, and their children Anasofia, John, and Johanna; Juan Manuel Morales Jr. and wife Cristina Morales, and their daughter Sarai; Mayra Alexandra Morales and partner Jorge Galvan, and their children Pricilla, Saul, and Jizelle; Erica Aleman and husband Ruben Aleman, and their daughters Evelyn and Arely; Ivan Morales and wife Selena Morales, and their daughter Navi; Antonia Elizabeth Ayala and her daughter Avani; and step-daughter, Cassandra Banessa Holguin.
In his later time of illness, Juan was lovingly cared for by his daughter, Mayra Alexandra Morales, who would cook with him and lived life with him, and by his son Juan Manuel Morales Jr. and Cristina, who opened their home to him and stood by him through his battle with cancer.
Though life did not always follow an easy path, Juan will be remembered as a hardworking man, a father, a grandfather, a friend, and a man who brought laughter to those around him. His family finds peace in believing he is now in God’s mercy, healed and free from pain.
