On June 1st, 2025, our hearts were broken as we said goodbye to someone truly special. Mario Moreno Esqueda tragically passed away during a night meant for celebration — his 24th birthday.

Mario wasn’t just a welder; he was a loving son, a caring brother, a loyal friend, and a cherished member of the car community. He had a smile that could light up any room and a presence that brought joy wherever he went.

He loved going to church, reading his Bible, playing soccer, and exploring new places. In his free time, he enjoyed listening to music and playing games with his family. And if you knew Mario, you knew how much he loved his cars .. working on them, drifting them, and being surrounded by others who shared that passion. (As his god brother might say, "Mexican Paul Walker.")

Mario was all about his family and he loved making people happy. No matter how big or small something was, he’d always go out of his way and try his best to help. He loved his friends with all his heart. You all really brought out the best of him from his personality to his true colors. In all honesty, I’d like to thank you all for that.

His sudden passing has left his family and friends in unimaginable pain. His parents and siblings are overwhelmed with grief, and while no words can ease their sorrow, we hope this GoFundMe can help ease financially.

We’re raising funds to help with:

Funeral and memorial expenses

Any contribution you’re able to give will make a meaningful difference. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support, your prayers, and your kindness during this difficult time.

Mario, you will always be remembered.

El 1 de junio de 2025, el corazón se los rompió al despedirnos de alguien realmente especial. Mario Moreno Esqueda falleció trágicamente en una noche destinada a celebrar su cumpleaños.

Mario no era solo un soldador; era un hijo cariñoso, un hermano atento, un amigo leal y un miembro muy querido de la comunidad de los carros. Tenía una sonrisa que iluminaba cualquier habitación y una presencia que traía alegría dondequiera que iba.

Le encantaba ir a la iglesia, leer la Biblia, jugar al fútbol y explorar nuevos lugares. En su tiempo libre, disfrutaba escuchando música y jugando juegos con su familia. Y si conocías a Mario, sabías cuánto amaba sus carros: trabajar en ellos, hacer drifting y estar rodeado de personas que compartían la misma pasión.

Mario era todo para su familia y le encantaba hacer feliz a la gente. No importaba lo grande o pequeño que fuera algo, siempre quería ayudar. Amaba a sus amigos con todo su corazón. Todos ustedes realmente sacaron lo mejor de él, de su personalidad a su verdadero ser. Sinceramente, quiero agradecerles a todos por eso.

Su repentino fallecimiento ha dejado a su familia y amigos con un dolor inimaginable. Sus padres y hermanos están muy llenos de dolor, y aunque no hay palabras para aliviar su dolor, esperamos que esta campaña de GoFundMe les ayude económicamente.

Estamos recaudando fondos para ayudar con:

Gastos funerarios y conmemorativos

Cualquier contribución que puedan hacer marcará una diferencia significativa. De corazón, gracias por su apoyo, sus oraciones y su generosidad durante este momento difícil.

Mario, siempre te recordaremos.
