Juan encontró una gran alegría en ser abuelo de sus nietos: Andrés Jr., Juan III y Susana, con quienes atesoró innumerables recuerdos, compartiendo sabiduría y amor.

Juan tenía una profunda conexión con la naturaleza, encontrando consuelo en la milpa, la tierra familiar. También dedicaba gran parte de su tiempo a cuidar sus plantas y árboles, que prosperaban bajo su atento cuidado. Los paseos matutinos le traían paz y apreciaba la belleza del mundo que lo rodeaba. Su devoción se extendía más allá de su familia; Fue un católico fiel y un miembro devoto de su iglesia, donde participó activamente y nutrió su vida espiritual.

Su familia y amigos lo recordarán no solo por su dedicación, sino también por su personalidad inquebrantable, arraigada en la tradición. Si bien era un hombre de principios, su compromiso con la familia y la fe nunca flaqueó. A Juan le sobreviven sus hijas, Virginia y Marlene; sus queridos nietos, Andrés Jr., Juan III y Susana; sus hermanos, Laura, Ana Virginia, Isabel, Enriqueta, Lázaro y Lorena; y muchos sobrinos, sobrinas y amigos que lo apreciaron profundamente. Le precedieron en la muerte su esposa, Susana, su padre, Antonio Murrieta y madre, Virginia Teran.
