Mario was the owner of M&D Handyman Services, where he enjoyed working with people and helping with projects around their homes. He was not only a skilled handyman but also a talented mechanic who loved to stay busy. Always willing to lend a hand, Mario especially loved helping his parents, as well as his nieces and nephews, whom he loved dearly.

He had many passions. Fishing, especially saltwater fishing in Florida, cooking Mexican food and barbequing with his family at the park. He enjoyed listening to Tejano music and enjoyed playing slot machines at the casino. Mario had a big heart and an even bigger smile. A free spirit, he found joy in helping anyone he could.
