SANTA MONICA, California, Aug. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — “It is with great sadness that we learned early yesterday of the passing of our friend, colleague and creative partner, the great Juan Gabriel. For more than three decades it has been our privilege to produce the onstage creative vision of one of the most extraordinary talents the world has ever seen. Everything Juan Gabriel did, he did from his heart. He was a man of compassion and generosity in his music, in his charitable works and also in his live performances, where he felt compelled to give back to his audiences for the love they had shown him. He was also a loving father and grandfather and we hope fans and media will grant his family time to grieve in private,” Henry Cardenas, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cardenas Marketing Network, Inc.
