Juan Marin, age 89, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, September 24, 2026 while surrounded by his loving family, here in Del Rio. He was born on October 26, 1936 in Nueva Rosita, Coahuila, Mexico.

Preceding him in death were his parents, Elfida and Juan Antonio Marin; sister, Maria Concepcion Estrada; and son, James Jaime Marin;

Family members left to cherish his memory include wife of 44 years, Enedina T. Marin of Del Rio; children: Juan Antonio Marin and wife Sara Marin of Gilbert, AZ, and Ricardo Marin and wife Maria Cristina Marin of Del Rio; siblings: Maria Del Rosario "Chayo" Pina, Elida Reyes, Maria Celia Barrera, Leticia Mares, Elfida Duenez, Carmen Aguilar, Evangelina Munoz, Javier Marin, and Enriqueta Hernandez; Juan is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Juan Marin, was a hardworking, loving, and truly special man. He was blessed with 89 beautiful years of life, and for 54 of those years, he dedicated himself to his passion and craft, building cabinets at his own shop, Marin Cabinet Shop. His work was a reflection of the kind of man he was—dedicated, humble, and proud of everything he created with his own two hands.

But more than anything, Grandpa Juan was a kind and gentle soul. He had a way of making people smile and feel welcome, and he was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it. His home was a place where people gathered, shared meals, laughed, and made memories. So many friends and loved ones in Del Rio had the privilege of spending time with him at cookouts and gatherings, and those memories will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Grandpa Juan touched so many lives throughout his 89 years. His kindness, laughter, hard work, and generous heart left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. His absence will leave a space that can never truly be filled.

He will be deeply and dearly missed—not only by his family, but by the many beloved friends, neighbors, and members of the Del Rio community who had the honor of knowing him. We are grateful for every memory, every laugh, every meal shared, and every moment we were blessed to have with him.

His life was a beautiful gift, and his memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved him. We love you, Grandpa Juan, and we will miss you more than words can ever express.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, October 1, 2026 from 5 to 9 p.m. in the Trinity Chapel of Faith.
