Background
November 18, 1965 – September 5, 2025
Our family is heartbroken by the sudden loss of Mario — a devoted husband, proud father, loyal friend, and a man who meant so much to so many. He was known for his big laugh, his generous heart, and the way he always showed up for the people he loved. His absence is felt deeply, and he will be missed more than words can express.
As we prepare to honor Mario’s life, many have reached out asking how they can support our family during this time. While we are not asking for donations, we have created this page for those who feel moved to contribute in his memory. Any support given will go toward memorial expenses and helping us celebrate his life the way he deserves.
More than anything, we appreciate your love — your messages, your prayers, your memories, and the kindness you’ve shown our family. Thank you for being a part of Mario’s life and for surrounding us with support as we say goodbye to him. If you would like, we welcome you to share a message, photo, or memory of Mario here so his love and spirit can continue to be remembered.
With heartfelt gratitude,
