Passed away at the age of 51, at home, on July 11, 2019 after a three year battle with brain cancer. Juan was born in Lima, Peru and moved to Huntington Beach, CA at the age of 11. Juan attended college at UCLA and graduated from Stanford Medical School, where he received a Howard Hughes Fellowship. He then moved to Seattle and completed his internship/residency at Swedish Medical Center in Family Medicine. Juan was an avid cyclist and passionate about road racing. He was always in search of the best taco and loved his raw oysters and fine wine. The only thing that rivaled this was his absolute dedication to his patients. He loved medicine above all.
Survived by his fiancée, Carmen Lystad, his mother Luz Marina Guerra, his father Julio Mario Guerra, his children Navarro Guerra, Dario Guerra and Luz Guerra, his sisters Rocio (Scott) Ferguson and Tania Guerra, his bonus children Isak Ogurkow and Anna Ogurkow and numerous loving aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
A celebration of life will be held on Monday, August 12th at 6:30 pm at Within Sodo, 2916 Utah Avenue South in Seattle.
