Juan Reyes Aflague

Juan Reyes Aflague of Vancouver, WA for 21 years, and from San Diego, CA for over 50 years, passed away peacefully at his home at the age of 95. Juan was born in Agana, Guam on October 14, 1924. As a teenager, he survived Imperial Japanese Military forces occupying Guam during WWII. Soon thereafter, he traveled to the US and joined the US Army from 1948-1952 and was a solider in the Korean War. His profession as a mechanical engineer led him to work for the Civil Service and General Dynamics for his whole career until retirement. Juan was a wonderful father and husband. He enjoyed playing and watching golf, playing billiard (pool), reading, and journaling. He was blessed to travel with Virginia during his retirement and be surrounded by his immediate and extended family. He was loved by those around him and was always providing a helping hand to those in need. On Palm Sunday, April 5th, 2020, Juan joined God in heaven and reunited with his parents Ana Guevara Reyes Aflague and Miguel Santos Aflague, and his siblings Rigoberto Reyes Aflague, Simeon Reyes Aflague, Rosario Aflague Cruz, Felipe Reyes Aflague, and step-brothers Godfred Castro and Joseph Gogue, and his son-in-law Mario Villarreal.

Aflague and their daughters, Ruby Ann Aflague-Villarreal, Teresa Aflague-Ortiz, son-in-law Vince Ortiz, and his grandchildren, twin boy's Diego Aflague-Ortiz and Harley Aflague-Ortiz. His step-children Victoria Navarro Oana and Rossiter Oana, Sr., John Navarro and Julia Castro Navarro, Nathaniel Hines Jr. (deceased) survived by Natalie Hines, Richard Lee Hines and Paula Liwanag Hines, as well as many step-grandchildren and great step-grandchildren.
