Juan Ramon Vega De La Garza, Sr. entered eternal rest on April 1, 2026 at the age of 77. He was born in San Antonio, Texas on December 27, 1948 to Anacleto and Maria De La Garza. Juan was the proud owner of Juan’s Garage Doors for 35+ years and De La Garza Custom Homes and was co-owner of Pyramid Meat Market. He is preceded in death by his beloved wife Estela G. De La Garza, parents, and siblings Anacleto De La Garza Jr. and Richard De La Garza Sr. He is survived by his loving children Jacqueline Aldrich (Kenneth Jr.), Juan De La Garza Jr. (Ellie), and Jacob De La Garza Sr. (Corie); grandchildren Austin Byrom Sr. (Lorissa), Kristen De La Garza, Kenneth Aldrich III (Abigail), Dylan De La Garza (Tawnie), Kaitlyn Viera (Louis), Kevin Aldrich (Raquel), Jacob De La Garza Jr, Mila De La Garza, Jon Gabriel De La Garza, and Mallory De La Garza; great-grandchildren Jaylin Byrom, Austin Byrom Jr, Wyatt Byrom, Avery Aldrich, Asher Aldrich, Grey De La Garza, and James Aldrich; sisters Mary Ann Wright and Jo Ann Rodriguez, and numerous nieces, nephews, family and friends. Juan’s greatest joy was his family. He loved his wife, children and grandchildren dearly and was their biggest supporter and protector. He took pride teaching his sons and grandsons how to install garage doors and knew if he couldn’t do a job, they could fill in because they were taught by the best. When he wasn’t working, he loved watching football, especially the Dallas Cowboys, fishing, attending all his “kids” various sports, performances, and other activities, playing cards, and going to the casino. His love, support and guidance were unwavering, and the well-being of his family was always his number one priority. He will always be remembered for his strong work ethic and quiet strength. While our hearts ache with grief, we take comfort in knowing that he is now in the presence of our Lord and Savior and is reunited in eternal peace with the love of his life Estela; his wife and best friend of 55 years. Visitation will be held on Thursday, April 9, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. with a rosary to begin at 6:30 p.m. at Brookehill Funeral Home. A funeral mass will be celebrated on Friday, April 10, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at St. Lawrence Catholic Church. Interment will follow at San Jose Burial Park .
