Juan Radilla Luna

On the evening of September 27, 2026, Juan Gilberto Radilla Luna passed away in Little Rock, Arkansas, surrounded by family and friends. Born in Coyuquilla Sur, Guerrero, Mexico, Juan will be remembered for his contagious smile, wonderful sense of humor, and infectious optimism.

Juan grew up in a small village alongside his seven brothers and sisters. By the age of eight, he was already working, throwing coconuts down from palm trees. With an eighth-grade education and a determination to build a better life, he ventured beyond his hometown in search of something more. Throughout his life, he worked hard to provide for his family and to serve others. He loved fishing, was always working on a project, and brought a bright, hopeful spirit to those around him.

Juan is survived by his beloved wife of 31 years, Clementina; his children, Jennifer, Jhonatan, and Eduardo; and the family dog, Knox, his loyal companion. He was preceded in death by his father, Raul.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at 10:00am with a visitation one hour prior at Smith Little Rock Funeral Home.

Juan’s smile, humor, and generous spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
