Hi, I'm Juli, Mario’s little sister. On Friday, June 28th, at 11:30 pm, we received the devastating news that my sweet older brother had been in an accident and died at the scene. We are utterly lost for words; we never saw this coming. Our family is shattered. My mom and dad have lost their beloved son, my siblings and I have lost our cherished brother, his wife has lost her soulmate, and his son has lost his loving father.

I’m creating this fund to try to help our family with anything we can manage. Mario was loved by so many and will be missed more than words can express. He was the funniest and sweetest person, always bringing joy and laughter to those around him. His absence leaves a void that can never be filled. My sweet brother will forever remain in our hearts, a precious memory we will cling to in our sorrow.
