This spirit of adventure was a testament to his zest for life and the joy he found in his experiences.

Juanito is survived by his loving wife, Nelia Bautista, and his two children, Laarni Diamse and Chris Bautista, who will remember him for his steadfast love, guidance, and the humor that colored their family life.
