Juanito Adanza Jane

Juanito Adanza Jane, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and brother, passed away on August 16, 2025, at Long Beach Medical Center Hospital, leaving behind a legacy love and dedication. He was born on May 27, 1936, in the Philippines. At the age of 18, Juanito joined the United States Navy, where he honorably served for 21 years before retiring in 1979.

After his retirement, Juanito moved back to the Philippines with his family, where he pursued his passion for agriculture. He attended school and was just one year shy of obtaining a bachelor's degree in the field. However, in 1981, he made the decision to return to Long Beach, California, where he continued to nurture his love for farming through his backyard activities.

Juanito had a deep appreciation for cultivating life, often spending his days planting and growing fruit trees and flowers. His passion for cooking shone brightly in his everyday life; he loved to cook, bake, and barbecue, bringing joy and nourishment to his family each day. Music also played a significant role in his life, especially in his younger years when he enjoyed dancing.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 61 years, three children, two grandchildren, and one older sister. Juanito's memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him, and he will be remembered for his kindness, dedication to family, and passion for life.

Family and friends are invited to pay their respects during the viewing, which will take place on September 9, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Luyben Dilday Mortuary, located at 5161 E Arbor Rd, Long Beach, CA 90808. A memorial service will follow from 11:00 AM to 11:15 AM at the same location.
