Juan Cantu

Juan Jose Cantu, 57, beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend entered into the glory of his eternal life on Sunday, Nov. 19, 2017 at Bella Villa surrounded by his loving family after a brief but valiant battle against cancer.

Juan Jose was a native and lifetime resident of Brownsville. Juan Jose worked for various local entities as a Security Guard. At the time of his passing, Juan Jose was working for the Brownsville Police Department as a Traffic Warden.
