Renato Rigioni

Renato was born the second of three children to his mother Cindy Elieth Henson and father Carlos Gabriel Rigioni Coto on October 30, 1995, in San Carlos, Costa Rica. Renato moved to Plano, Texas with his family in 1998, and attended Sigler Elementary School, Wilson Middle School, Vines High School, and he graduated from Plano Senior High School in 2015.

Following graduation, Renato enjoyed his career in the Information Technology profession, installing technical equipment for businesses throughout the Southwest United States. During this time, Renato also pursued and perfected his passion for the culinary arts. Renato loved preparing, cooking, and presenting food for his restaurant patrons, friends, and family, and he was good at it.

But beyond what Renato did, it is who Renato was that made him so very special. Simply put, Renato was one of the sweetest, kind and most fun-loving people to those whom he loved best, his family and friends. Renato always wore an infectious smile everywhere he went, which would light up any room he was in. He was lovingly close to his parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, many cousins, and friends. He recently moved to Arlington, Virginia to be with his girlfriend, Flor Ruiz, and her daughter Camila Angeline Esperanza, whom he loved like his very own.

Renato is survived by his father, Carlos Gabriel Rigioni Coto; mother Cindy Elieth Henson and her husband Charles Bryan Henson; brother and sister-in-law Juan Emmanuelle Rigioni and Ashley Michel Rigioni; sister Mariana Rigioni; grandmother Fainier Arroyo Rojas; along with a multitude of loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and other family members residing primarily in Costa Rica, Texas, and Oklahoma.

“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:4
