& why is he so special?
Juan was born on a hot summer day, June 5th 1999 to be exact.. in Baltimore, MD to parents; Juan Soriano and Kimberly Soriano (Amodeo). He grew up in Harford county, MD in a little town near the Susquehanna river formally known as Aberdeen, MD. From a young age Juan's smile and infectious playful energy would light up any room and as he aged so did his charm. We often joked with him on whether he used it to his advantage a few times or two, but what makes Juan so special is his heart and his dedication.
W.W.J.D
We have an acronym around here and it goes WWJD... Any guesses on what that could stand for?? hmmm. no? okay okay we'll just tell you =)
~ WHAT WOULD JUAN DO?! Juan would give you his last dollar so you could eat for the day, Juan would do everything in his power to help a struggling stranger to safety, Juan would tell you to enjoy everyday like it is your last because we are on Gods time, Juan would tell you to spread love wherever and whenever you get the chance because there is SO much love in this world to be given and received. Juan has always been passionate about making sure no one feels left out or alone in this world. He didn't care where you came from or what your background was, he just wanted to be a light in the darkness. Often provided at the expense of his ornery humor and wild antics to make people smile, but always with love as the main intention. To know Juan was to love Juan and through his foundation we hope to continue allowing people to get to know and love him just as we do.
