Juan Manuel Majalca-Hernandez

Juan Manuel Majalca-Hernandez, 70, passed away in Amarillo, Texas, on January 10, 2025. He was born on September 8, 1954, in Chihuahua, Mexico, to Maria Luisa Hernandez and Jesus Manuel Majalca. 

Juan was preceded in death by his parents, Maria Hernandez and Jesus Majalca. 

He is survived by two children from a previous marriage: Juan Carlos Majalca and Yazmine Majalca Chavez. He was married to Enriqueta Olivarez for 33 years and was a father to her children: Jolene Santiago and Erick Olivarez. He was a stepfather to Sandra Serna, Sherry Olivarez, Lynda (Danny) Salas, Tony “Antonio II” Olivarez, Yolanda Salas, Brenda Olivarez, Ricky Olivarez, Janie Altamirano, Paul Olivarez and Stevie Olivarez. His grandchildren are Brandi Krob, April Olivarez, Tony Oronia, Felix Jr. Oronia, Jonathan Altamirano, Sierra Colin, Alejandro Colin, and Sonia Bernal. His great-grandchildren are Kobe Santiago, Brianna Krob, Steven Krob, Kevin Krob, and his great-great-great-grandchildren are Avriana Pena and Giovannie Olivarez. This family said, “He found a family with our family.” 

Mr. Hernandez was a happy, funny man who loved to joke around and loved dancing, music—especially Tejano music, singing, and watching old John Wayne westerns and game shows. He enjoyed the Dallas Cowboys and was an animal lover. “Juanito” as he was known, had a contagious laugh and loved to give hugs. He used to say, “I love you too much” to his family members. He worked for Tyson for 19 years and was a religious man who prayed over his family. He will certainly be missed by all those who knew and loved him.
