Mariano Romo-Martinez

Mariano Romo Martinez, 79, of Greeley, Colorado, passed away, Monday, November 1, 2021 in Fort Collins, Colorado at Poudre Valley Hospital. He was born February 18, 1942 in Mexico to Apollinar Romo and Patricia Martinez.

Mariano migrated from Mexico in search of a better life for his family. He stayed in Greeley and built his Legacy. He started as a migrant worker with all of his children! He leads with Integrity! He was an honorable Father, husband, and grandfather. He retired from Farr Feeders. He was content with hosting and grilling! Mariano had a contagious smile, liked to joke around and tell stories of all of his journeys. Humble and respected was his life motto. If you wanted to hear the truth, he would be the

correct person to go to. He was a reserved person full of life. He had chickens and would complain about

them but sure missed them when they left.

Mariano loved spending time with the great- grandkids! He was a very good mechanic! You would have never known that he did not have any sort of education! His determination and dedication was unheard of. A hard working man is who he was! He loved his children tremendously. We are who we are because of him! When he retired he relocated to Mexico and spent his last year with his children. He blessed us with his presence and left us all with very special memories. He will be dearly missed but will be held close to our hearts!
