Biographical
Juan Campoco Pascual was born on August 5, 1904, in Agkawayan, Philippines. Little is known about his early life before his departure to the United States. According to a California passenger and crew list, Pascual departed the Philippines, aboard the S. S. Ecuador on July 9, 1919. A month later, he arrived at the port of San Francisco, California. In 1940, Pascual was employed as a farm laborer, earning modest wages, and sharing a household with two other lodgers. On February 14, 1942, weighing in at one hundred and forty-five pounds and with tattoos on both arms he registered for the United States draft, stating that he worked at Chester Chisholm Ranch. Juan Campoco Pascual passed away on May 22, 1988, at the age of eighty-four and was laid to rest in Turlock Memorial Park in Stanislaus County, California. *Conflicting birth dates: US World War II Draft Registration Card, August 5, 1904.
