Every hundred years or so, the world is graced with the presence of a legend...
...and that legend is Juan Gabriel.
He was an everyday part of our lives.
Whether you heard his music blasting on Saturday mornings...
...or through the television...
...he always reminded us that he too is part of our family.
JuanGa's vibrant character tore down walls.
And taught fellow Latinxs that it's OK to be unapologetically yourself.
He was never afraid to stand out and be seen.
Simply put, he was an absolute force of nature.
And there's not enough words to express just how iconic he was and will continue to be.
His impact is undeniable.
He created a safe space through his music.
And challenged us in a way no artist ever could.
JuanGa is a part of our past, and even bigger part of our future.
...but he will always be our diamond in the rough.
Rest in power, Juan Gabriel.
