Mario was 37 years old, he passed away in San Rafael, CA on Wed., Sept. 23, 2021 due to a heart attack. He didn’t plan for the future or his children’s financial future. Mario leaves behind his loving children, 9 year old Marlee and 7 year old Mario, Jr. Mario was divorced and the children’s mother is estranged from the family.

Mario had a smile that was contagious and nothing brought a smile to his face more than his pride and joy, his two children Marlee and Mario, Jr. He loved them dearly and always spent quality time with them. Most memorable was in the kitchen Mario cooking and dancing with them to their favorite tunes especially while making “Daddy’s Special Spaghetti Sauce” which no others could compare to! Mario was always full of life and love, a good man with a kind heart. Always with a bouquet of flowers in hand to express his love or appreciation. No matter how bad things got Mario always loved his family especially his children. A few months before Mario left us he made sure his Mom knew how much he loved her by giving her a 4ft tall 3 ft wide stuffed pink teddy bear that plays ‘You Are the Wind Beneath My Wings’. He told her every time she looked at it she would be reminded of how much he loves her. That was our “Super Mario”

The children are left without their Father in their lives. There were a lot of tough times the family went through. Living without their father and his support in their life is a tragedy for them. They will continue on not having their Dad see them grow up, and him not having planned financially for them is a hardship already as they start out without him . They've lived a life of just getting by, sadly they never got to take that first family vacation.

Mario’s parents are both retired and have opened custodial accounts for each child to cover their present and future needs. Any help with the children’s financial needs are appreciated as they move forward without their Father in their lives.

The grandparents are thankful and any amount would be greatly appreciated as the funds go to their efforts in raising the children into adulthood. The children are ultimately rewarded by your generosity and support. Mario, Sr. with a bouquet in hand would thank you as well….
