Our son Josh speaks for us all when he wrote: “Still trying to find the words. You always think you’ll have the time. You don’t think it will happen yet, and you wake up and it still doesn’t feel real. We lost my dad. He was a good man, and growing up he always welcomed my friends over and had a joke or two ready and treated them like they were part of the family. He was there with advice (whether you wanted it or not), a silly story, and a warm hug and a smile. He loved his family in his way, and loved his grandkids even more. There are so many things I wish we could have done, or that we should have done that we didn’t get to make time for. We are going to miss you Dad, and we love you very much.”

Condolences to the family of John F. Migues. John was a wonderful, nice, friendly neighbor & would help anyone that needed assistance. We will miss John not seeing John in the garage doing wood work. Our prayers are with you Marie & the family. Neighbors George Garcia & Christina Martinez
We have been so blessed to have had fellowship with Marie and John over the years. John was passionate for his family and his work. He was inquisitive by nature and spent time teaching others and learning new things as part of his daily living. We shall miss him and send warm thoughts to the family for sharing his time with us. Peace be with you.
We are so sorry to hear of John’s passing. We will always be grateful for the friendship that we shared throughout the years. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you during this time.

on a very personal note..
This one hurts. I sincerely echo a lot of Josh’s words. John was such a truly great soul. Giving is only word I can use; but it truly does not do justice. I will always fondly remember the times that I stayed over at the house when Sean and I were growing up and going through our Confirmation classes. To the entire Migues family- Marie, Sean, Joshua and Annie- I can not wrap my head around what you all may be feeling right now. These words are not easy to type right now. I hope this finds you just a little bit of comfort and solace during this time. God Bless.

He always was there to help with hamburger Thursdays, Wednesday luncheons and fundraisers such as the Turkey diners and he did it with a big smile. John will be certainly missed by all of us. God Bless.
