Juan worked for Cargill here in Waco for over 25 years in the sanitation department. He retired in 2020. Going to visit extended family in Mexico and practicing his marksmanship with his gun was always a fun time. Juan spent his retirement years watching an old western movie, or his favorite Novela, while having a good cold Dr. Pepper and his favorite smokes. He always enjoyed time spent with family and friends eating Chinese food or Chili Relleno.
Juan was preceded in death by his parents, Federico and Amelia Morales; his loving wife, Juana Castro Morales in 2015; sister, Berta Rodriguez; and step-son, Jose Saldaña.
Juan leaves to cherish his memory his loving children, Blanca Figueroa, Dulce Morales, Amelia Morales, Juan Morales, Jr. and his wife, Ana Sandoval, and Luis Morales; siblings, Gracelia Rodriguez, Maria Saldana, Frederico Morales, Pedro Morales, Lucrecia Morales, Maria Guadalupe Morales, and Susana Maldonado; five step-children; 18 grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; along with numerous other loving family and friends.
