New school name “Juan P Navarro”
(excerpts from American-Statesman)
In his short life, Sgt. Juan Navarro accomplished a lot of firsts. After graduating from Lanier High School in 2007, he became the first of 11 brothers and sisters to attend college. Soon after, he became the first in his family to enter the military.
On [July 6, 2012], Navarro, 23, was killed by an improvised explosive device in Kandahar Province. Navarro, who served with the 23rd Infantry Regiment, 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team of the 2nd Infantry Division, was on his second tour in Afghanistan.
Since learning of his death, friends and family have gathered at Navarro’s small family home on Rundberg Lane in North Austin, trading stories around a makeshift altar of flowers, flags, candles and collages of photos tracing a life from smiling toddler to stern-faced soldier.
On Wednesday, they described him as outgoing, gregarious, respectful of his elders.
Even after he left Texas and moved through the Army ranks, he remained fiercely loyal to his community — his arm featured a tattooed street sign of Rundberg Lane and Interstate 35, which sits half a block from his home.
Navarro was scheduled to leave the Army within a few months, and he planned to resume his college studies. He joined the Army after briefly attending Texas State University, which he left for financial reasons.
