John Rojas was born in Raymondville, Texas, to Apolonia Rojas Torres and Juan Rojas. His family later settled in Planada, California, where he attended elementary school and graduated from

faith, and cherished lifelong memories.
John dedicated 25 years of faithful service to Color Press in Merced. He later pursued a career as a CatTrack bus driver for the

For the next 13 years, he bravely carried this cross with patience and humility, placing his complete trust in the Lord and relying daily on God's grace and strength.
