Juan Francisco Osoria, age 77, passed away peacefully on Monday, December 8, 2025, at The

Rucki Hospice Care Center in Zephyrhills, Florida. A resident of Zephyrhills since 2023, Juan

was born on December 15, 1947, in Hatillo, Puerto Rico, to the late Ana Estebania Osoria and

Francisco Osoria. At the age of 16, he moved to Brooklyn, New York, where he built a life rooted

in faith, family, and hard work. He worked as a doorman and porter for 37 years on East 77th

Street in New York City, faithfully serving his community with humility and dedication.

A devoted student of the Bible, Juan taught Sunday School and Bible Institute classes for many

years at his home church, Asamblea Pentecostal, in Brooklyn. His deep love for Scripture and

for teaching left a lasting impact on countless lives, inspiring others to live for Christ and to

"study to show yourself approved" (2 Timothy 2:15). His wisdom, patience, and unwavering faith

were hallmarks of his ministry and his life.

Juan is survived by his loving wife, Maria; his daughters, Madeline, Raquel, and Noemi; his

grandchildren, Kaitlyn, Mia, Matthew, Jacob, Brielle, and Kevin; and his great-grandson, Carter.

He is also survived by his brothers, Wilfredo and Samuel Humberto. He was preceded in death

by his beloved siblings, Gladys Ester and Luis Aníbal, who remained his closest friends and

confidants throughout his life.

Juan will be remembered for his sense of humor, generosity, steadfast faith, and the love he

poured into his family and all who knew him. His legacy lives on in the many hearts he touched

and the truths he taught
