"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal."
"What Makes A Dad"
God took the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree, The warmth of a summer sun, The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature, The comforting arm of night, The wisdom of the ages, The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring, The faith of a mustard seed, The patience of eternity, The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities, When there was nothing more to add, He knew His masterpiece was complete, And so, He called it ... Dad

PEREZ, JUAN - Cancer has done what nothing else could: quieted the energetic Juan Perez. Juan passed away at the Health Sciences Centre surrounded by his friends, his father Blas and his partner Sean Freake, on Tuesday, December 6, 2011. He also leaves behind his mother Elva, brother Carlos and sister Lourdes. Juan, born in Moron, Cuba, on July 3, 1966, came to Newfoundland two decades ago as a refugee. In his early twenties, Juan left Cuba to study engineering in Russia. After receiving his degree, he immigrated to Canada, leaving a flight as it was refueling in Gander. Juan, with the sheer strength of his vibrant personality and work ethic, built a 20 year career at The Head Room salon and spa in St. John's. Starting as an assistant, he worked his way up to become a stylist, and on to great success in national and international competitions, finally reaching the level of an International Platform Artist with Goldwell, where he worked internationally as a trainer. Juan has continued to support his family in Cuba since coming to Canada. A service has yet to be scheduled: flowers will be gratefully accepted, along with donations to Friends4Juan, a fundraising effort to defray costs of his illness. Blessed with a huge circle of devoted friends, Juan will be greatly missed. Juan will be forever loved and missed by Trish and his friends at The Head Room.
