I had the opportunity to work at Evergreen for 25 years like Mario. Over the years he came to our department several times for maintenance. In 2021 during the pandemic, my husband and I asked Mario to build an additional bathroom in our home. Not only did he build a beautiful bathroom he allowed my husband to work side-by-side with him, teaching him everything he knew. Mario believed in education. He would often talk about how his daughter attended Santa Clara university. I will forever remember Mario’s words of wisdom,  he would say one family member works and the other one goes to college. As I walk through the Campus with my colleagues during lunch I will miss waving hello to him.  Our hearts go out to the family during this difficult time. The Hardins

I was very sorry to hear of Mario’s passing. I work at San Jose City College and I’d see him whenever he came by the biology labs to help us with different things. He was super nice, funny, and had a very warm personality. During the winter break, he helped me with the setup of a computer lab, he found a really efficient way to hide a whole bunch of outlets and cables so that the area would be comfortable and safe for the students. It ended up looking awesome! I’m thankful to have met him. Sending my heartfelt condolences to Mario’s family and loved ones. May he rest in peace♡

Mis condolencias para su familia y para Lucero, Julieta y sus hermanas, que Dios reciba a Mario en el cielo. Descansa en Paz .

Super Mario is an understatement! He was an outstanding co-worker and more importantly we were friends. I learned from his example while working for  the last two years at San Jose evergreen community college district. Thanks to him for the person he was and the impact he had on many lives. I'm sorry to the family for your loss but he's in a heavenly resting place now. Rest in peace Mario you are missed brother!

Our Condolences go out to the whole family. Mario was a good man. One of a kind. He was friendly and always available to help others. I viewed him like an extended uncle. Even though we didnt see each other often, or was not blood relatives, he treated me like family. He accepted others for who they are...Prayers going out to the immediate family, wife, his adult children, extended family, friends, coworker's and those who were part of his life. We will forever remember the impact of his good deeds, and will always keep memories of Mario dear to our hearts. God bless!
Andrea and Cesar Ogana

Mario was a very good friend. I had the honor to work with him for 5 1/2 years at San Jose Evergreen them College District. He always wanted to help everybody all the time. He always gave of himself and never asked for nothing in return. People like him are rare in this world and he will be missed very much. I miss you my friend, your friend David Aguilar.

27 años y muchos momentos en familia siempre estarán en el corazón de quienes tuvimos  la dicha de conocerlo. Descanse en Paz Mario  saludos a todos los que se nos adelantaron especialmente a mi papá 🙏 y fortaleza a Naty , a sus hijos y familia🙏
