As a self-employed cement finisher, Juan was a master of his craft. \u00a0He took immense pride in his work and was known for his strong work ethic and dedication. \u00a0When he was not working, Juan found rhythm in life as a talented guitarist and drummer. \u00a0He had a playful spirit and found great joy in the simple pleasures of playing bingo and trying his luck with the lottery.<\/p>\n
Above all else, Juan’s heart belonged to his family. \u00a0He was a devoted father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather who took immense pride in the lives of his children and their families. \u00a0He cherished every moment spent in their company, finding joy in the unique spirit of each family member.<\/p>\n
Those left to honor his memory include his four children and their spouses: \u00a0Edelmiro Saldano (Sylvia), Gilbert Mojica (Savannah), Dianna Mejia (Juan), and Daniel Mojica (Tina), all of Lubbock. \u00a0He is also survived by his siblings: \u00a0Mary Molina, Victoria Covarrubio, and Julian Mojica, all of Lubbock, and Frank Mojica, Jr., of Plainview. \u00a0Juan’s legacy of love continues through five generations, including 13 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.\u00a0 He was preceded in death by a son, Jessie Garcia.<\/p>\n
Visitation for Mr. Mojica will be from 5 to 8 PM on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at the Venue on Broadway, 2202 Broadway, next to Combest Family Funeral Home. \u00a0The Holy Rosary will be recited at 6 PM that evening. \u00a0Final rites and interment will be held at the Graveside at 10 AM on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, in the City of Lubbock Cemetery under the personal care and direction of Combest Family Funeral Home. \u00a0Father Martin Pina, of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, will be the officiant.<\/p>\n
