Magdaleno Casper Juarez, a beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and cherished friend, passed away on November 18, 2024, at the age of 82, after a long and courageous four-year battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his loving family in Fresno, California, where he spent his final days. Born on November 28, 1941, in Tamaulipas, Mexico, Casper was the son of Magdaleno Juarez Corona and Maria Luisa Alvarez Juarez. He was the proud father to twelve children and a cherished grandfather to twenty-six grandchildren and twenty-eight great-grandchildren. He is survived by the love of his life, Jeanie, his two sisters, and an extended family that adored him deeply. Casper led a life rich in love and laughter. Known for his humor, he took few things seriously—except, of course, for his impeccable sense of style. Always dressed to impress, he was rarely seen without his signature Stacey Adams shoes, stylish Fedoras, and perfectly creased pants. His unique fashion sense was a reflection of his vibrant personality, and he loved making people smile with his jokes and playful demeanor. Professionally, Casper was an accomplished agricultural mechanic and entrepreneur. His skills and knowledge were a testament to his hard work and dedication, traits that he instilled in his family. Beyond his professional life, he had a passion for cars, baseball, and cooking—interests that brought him much joy and allowed him to create lasting memories with his family. While he was preceded in death by his parents and three brothers, and one sister, Casper leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience, and laughter. He taught his family the importance of togetherness, humor, and cherishing every moment life has to offer. Casper's life was a beautiful tapestry of relationships, laughter, and love that will be sorely missed but forever cherished. His spirit will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him, and his family will honor his memory by carrying forward the values he held dear. A celebration of Casper's life will be held in the coming days, where family and friends will gather to share their favorite stories and memories of this incredible man. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to a cancer research organization, honoring Casper's brave fight against the disease that took him too soon. Rest in peace, dear Casper. You were a shining light in the lives of so many, and your legacy will live on in the hearts of your loved ones forever.
