His name is Mario Alberto Garcia Lopez, a father, a husband, a brother, a son, and a fantastic friend. These beautiful boys you see here, Mario 11 yrs., David 8yrs., Samuel 3 yrs., and Diego 8 months, well, they were his LIFE! 
I can sit here and tell you a story about where he was born, grew up, how he was raised, and some of things in between, but it wouldn't do him any justice because he was much more than that. Instead I will let his family, friends, and individuals who knew him tell you who he was.
"He was charismatic, hilarious, loud, sensitive, a BIG flirt, very loving, hardworking, and he loved to eat. He could step into a room and make it shine, not just because of his bright and shiny colored eyes, but because of his big and beautiful smile. He would always have something to say to change your day and make you smile!" ----Roxxana----your LOB!
"He was such a great and easy person to get along with, he was funny, flirty, and what can I say he was our LOB, everyone around him loved him!" ----Sandra----la noodles
"He was always good with kids, loved to interact with them, and loved making them food. He was so sweet, loving, and a great friend. He always gave me good advice. He was a risk taker and lived his life to the fullest with no regrets!" ----Vanessa---- la otra noodles
"He was a good friend, since fifth grade, easy to get along, spontaneous, did whatever he wanted and didn't think twice when he needed to help out a friend or wanted to do what he believed was right. He was somebody with a good heart!" ----Julio---- el noodles
"We always messed around a lot, got mad at each other, bumped heads and all, but I knew you were always just looking out for me. No matter what, you would always still be there to smoke one and forget about the issue. You were the only one there when I most needed someone, never left me alone, until now. I can't believe you're gone and not being able to see you again makes me feel impotent. You should've never been so far from home, your spot was and will always be here with us. You'll always be loved and missed my boy!" ----Jose---- el guapo
"To me Mario was the sweetest, funniest, and most lovable person in our group of friends. I can always count on him to bring me up with a smile on a gloomy sad day. He was our LOB # 1 (a name joke between a couple of us). So sad to know he’s gone and just wished bad things didn’t happen to good people because he was part of some of the best people I’ve gotten to meet. Rest in Paradise my sweet friend!" ----Anali----

Mario at work on September 29th, 2018!Now that you have an idea of who Mario was, I will tell you that in the beginning of September he decided to go to Tennessee for a job opportunity that he was offered. It was there in Nashville, Tennessee (about 2,000 miles away from home, California) on September 30th, 2018 that his life came to a tragic end, he was only 34 years old. This link tells you about that night.

Unfortunately, because he was so far away from home, his family must pay to bring him back and for all the memorial services. Let's give Mario's boys and family some hope and ease in their time of need. Please help Mario, David, Samuel, and Diego raise funds to bring their father home and to CELEBRATE, HONOR, AND REMEMBER HIS LIFE! To family and friends, please comment below (along with your donation) to let everyone know who he was to you. These quotes are just a start to understanding who Mario was and we will always be to us!
Thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts. Any donation is very much appreciated!
