John E. Cerda Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

John E Cerda, 70, of Ft. Worth, TX went to be with the Lord on February 1, 2022. John was born on August 5, 1951 in Monterrey, Mexico to Juan and Sarah Cerda. John truly had a childlike joy and love of life. He was wonderfully unique and always made the best out of any situation. John loved spending time with his grandkids more than anything. He loved to tell stories and write songs and poems. He enjoyed dancing, singing, and playing the guitar. He liked riding bikes, and anything else on wheels. You could be sure to find John with ripstick in hand, trying a new trick. Above all, John was passionately in love with the Lord Jesus Christ and he touched so many people by confessing his love for the Lord and spreading the Word of God. He is survived by his wife Tina, his dad Juan Cerda, his brothers and sisters Christine Waldrup, Alma & Ron Hall, Amy & Juan Palacios, Emil & Rosa Cerda, Adam Cerda & Whitney Bishop, Martin & Sylvia Cerda. He is also survived by his children Krista & Robert Richard, Blossom & Randy Shaffer, John & Karen Cerda, Paul Cerda, and Melanie & Ruben Marioni, as well as step-children Philip Cornell, Lydia & Reginald Thomas, and Stephen & Henna Cornell. His precious grandchildren include Paris & Jet Richard, Grace, Sarah & Abigail Shaffer, Eleanor, Beckner & Margot Cerda, Marcus & Cara Cerda, Robin, Raven & Renly Marioni, Nehemiah & Esther Thomas and Aletheia Cornell. It should also be noted that John had a rich spiritual family made up of believers spread far and wide. He is enjoying a heavenly reunion with his mother, Sarah Cerda and his son, Marcus Cerda.
