Whether it was gathering around a campfire during a camping trip or simply sharing precious moments at home with everyone. Mario's biggest supporter and best friend was his mom.

He held a special place in his heart for his son. Playing together and creating lasting memories were sources of great happiness for them both. 
Mario was deeply committed to the church and his faith was unwavering. His devotion to God guided him through the darkest hours of his battle with cancer. Throughout the four years since his diagnosis, Mario displayed remarkable strength and resilience. He never gave up hope and fought bravely. He will be greatly missed.
