Juan Carlos Buritica-beloved husband, father, son, grandfather, brother, uncle, father-in-law, brother-in-law, and friend-passed away on June 17, 2026, at the age of 59.
Calo was born in Pereira, Risaralda, Colombia, on August 2, 1966, joining his six siblings (Uriel, Maribel, Jhon Jairo, Armando, Wilmar, and Aldemar) and enriching the large family of his parents, Uriel Buritica and Dolly Ruiz.
He studied (at Jesus Maria Ormaza) and worked hard alongside his family to build a future. In this journey, God led him to meet Luz Mary Rodriguez, the woman who would become his beloved wife and life partner.
Together, they created a new family with their two children, Andres and Andrea Buritica. Driven by dreams of a better life, he left his homeland for the United States. There, through great sacrifice, he provided for his family, which continued to grow as he became a grandfather to Makayla, Jonathan, Gabriella, and Lilia.
As a husband, he was patient, selfless, loving, and completely devoted to his wife until death parted them.
As a father, he was loving and ever-present in the lives of his children and grandchildren-a dad who could be counted on for anything, always ready to give his best regardless of fatigue, and always ready to play.
Calo will always be remembered by family and friends as a great, honorable man who was always ready to help those in need. He possessed a contagious joy and was a man of faith who loved God and was loved by God. He was a being full of light who illuminated-and will continue to illuminate-our lives. Though he is no longer physically present, his advice and his acts of humility, charity, kindness, and boundless love will live on within us-the privileged few who knew him. All that remains is for us to thank God for allowing us to know and share our lives with such a wonderful person.
