In Loving Memory of

Juan Armando Sauceda

May 21, 1947 - March 18, 2026

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Juan Armando Sauceda , who went to be with the Lord on March 18, 2026, at the age of 78. Juan was born on May 21, 1947, in Mercedes, Texas. He lived a life devoted to his faith, his family, and all those blessed to know him. He was a loyal friend, a devoted father, and an especially proud grandfather. His presence brought strength, wisdom, and joy to everyone around him.

He instilled in his family a deep pride in their Mexican heritage and raised his children to be honest, humble, and hardworking. More than anything, he taught by example-showing what it meant to live with integrity, love, and purpose. Because of him, his family carries forward not only success, but a commitment to being good people to others. His greatest pride and joy was his grandchildren. He celebrated each of their accomplishments-big and small-with immense pride, always encouraging them to pursue their dreams and become the best versions of themselves. Nothing made him happier than seeing them succeed, and he spoke of them often with love and admiration.

Juan had a generous heart and a true love of life. He especially loved bringing people together-whether celebrating holidays with family, spending time on South Padre Island, enjoying fishing trips filled with laughter, or visiting Florida where he cherished time spent with his daughter and her family. He also took great pride in cooking and loved to BBQ for his family and friends, always making sure everyone was fed, happy, and together.

Juan is survived by his daughters, Aries Sauceda Coll, her husband, Francisco Coll, and their children, Tatiana Coll and Sasha Coll; Brisa L. Sauceda and her sons, Aaron Carrilo and Joaquin Carrillo; and his son , Michael Sauceda, his wife, Michelle Balderas Sauceda, and their children, Lucero Sauceda, Ilyana Sauceda, and Marcelo Sauceda.

He is also survived by his former wife, Rose Sauceda, who remained by his side and was with him when he passed, a reflection of the bond, family, and life they shared together.

Juan leaves behind a legacy of love, faith, and family that will live on through all who knew him. Though he left us too soon and leaves a tremendous void in our hearts and our lives, we take comfort in knowing he is now at peace-fishing and walking the beaches he loved, in the presence of the Lord.

We will never be the same without you, Dad. Rest in peace. Until we meet again and watch the waves together. Love you always.

Harrison Ave. Harlingen, TX 78550. For information, please call (956)364-2444 or visit www.trinityfunerals.com
