Juan M. Monjaraz

Juan Monjaraz, age 76, of Cary, passed away on Saturday, July 17, 2021 at good Shepherd Hospital with his loving wife holding his hand and his children by his side.

He was Born on March 13, 1945 in Paras, Nuevo León in Mexico as the son of Manuel Monjaraz and Maria Perez.

As a young man he was a machinist and tool and die maker. He was an avid reader and forever student. He also enjoyed other things in life such as working out, going on long walks, and road trips even if it was for an ice cream cone in Lake Geneva or going to Rosati‘s in Marengo.
