Juan Francisco Culajay

October 8, 1945 — May 4, 2025

Orlando

Juan Francisco Culajay, a loving husband, devoted father, and a man whose heart always beat for others, passed away peacefully on May 4, 2025, in Orlando, Florida. Born on October 8, 1945, in Mixco, Guatemala, Juan's journey through life was marked by his extraordinary kindness and generosity.

From a young age, Juan demonstrated a spirit of selflessness, always putting the needs of others before his own. Those who knew him will remember him not just for his warmth and caring nature, but also for his vibrant interests that made his life rich and fulfilling. He was a passionate reader and enjoyed exploring the depths of literature. He also cherished his love for soccer, which was not just a sport for him but a way to connect with friends and family. Additionally, Juan held a deep appreciation for travel, with cherished memories of his adventures in Europe and Peru, immersing himself in different cultures and forging friendships across borders.

Juan was particularly proud of his family, and his greatest accomplishment was undoubtedly his son, Frank Culajay, whose success and happiness brought him immeasurable joy. As a loving husband, he shared his life with his beloved wife, Thelma Culajay, who stood by his side through life's many trials and triumphs. Together, they built a loving home, filled with laughter and support.

Though Juan has departed this world, he leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness that will continue to inspire all who had the honor of knowing him. He is preceded in death by his father, Lorenzo Culajay, his mother, Valeria Culajay, his sister, Lucinda Culajay, and his brother, Augusto Culajay. Their memories live on in the hearts of his family, a testament to the bonds that transcend time and space.
