Grateful I had the pleasure to enjoy his friendship.    A Leader in life.   He always created light and love.    I  will never forget this charming soul.    Love you Mariano.    Michael Martin

My dear brother in law, where do I begin? I remember the first day I met you Christmas Eve 1993!!! You swung the door open at nana and nanos and said, “Cherie, I’m so happy to meet you” from the very first day you treated me like family! The shopping sprees, brunches, pool days and the long talks will forever stay with me. This does not seem real. We will continue to love each other, support each other and be kind. All the things you instilled in us! Love you forever! Give all the fur babies kisses and I will see you again.

I’m still in shock when I heard. Mar was more than a friend he was family the big brother I never had . I will always cherish the great memories and laughter we shared. My condolences to your family I will always be here to support you in any way . With love ❤️

Sending all of my love and condolences to his family and will forever hear the words “hi sunshine” and “cheers” as his greeting and signature in all correspondence …CHEERS to YOU Mariano, you truly were one of a kind and will be deeply missed.

Mariano, I’m heartbroken over your loss. You were such a beautiful soul, friend. I feel so lucky to have known you. I will carry our memories with me and my family forever.  Your light will continue to shine in all who knew you.  We love you Tio Mar  you will be so missed. May your rest in peace my friend 🙏🏼❤️

Mariano was a kind and inspirational soul at Chico’s…. As an Outlet peer, we were partnered together at a meeting to build a “House of Cards”…. While we weren’t close to being named the winners, that day Mariano and I grew from a peer relationship to a real friendship.  His Transformational Tuesday messages were something I looked forward to every week.  His passing is a shock and I feel a genuine loss.  I hope Mariano’s family knows how much he loved you and also knows how much we loved him too!!  ❤️

I am so sad to hear of Mariano’s passing. He was a kind and compassionate person and he will be deeply missed.

I'm  so sorry  to hear of Mariano's passing. I worked  for him at Everything  but Water and  he was a great mentor. He really  did have good fashion sense. Always dressed  so well. I admired that.  I'm  still so shocked because I  knew how he loved to ride his bike and stay physically  fit. God rest in peace.

Thank you for always believing in me and being one of my biggest cheerleaders. I will take what you have taught me which is putting people first and take it throughout my career. Rest peacefully friend

Just a casual night hanging in Wynwood checking out the art!

We always took it up a notch visiting LA!

Trying to find the words to express how much you meant to me and how deeply I’ll miss you is simply impossible. Twenty years of friendship and twenty years of walking through this journey we call life together, embracing all its beauty and adventures to the fullest. I feel so blessed to have shared so many moments with you laughing, growing, and simply living our best lives. I was always so proud to call you my best friend. Your sense of style and fashion,, your humor, your love and just the way you made me feel everything would be okay and that smile of yours could light up any room! Thank you for every memory, every laugh, and for loving me exactly as I am. Thank you, too, for always keeping me grounded with your honesty, even when I didn’t want to hear it, because that was you, always real, always true.

I promise to make you proud. Not a single day will pass without me thinking of you and holding your memory close to my heart. I’ll carry you with me always… until we meet again. Love you yesterday, today, and forever.

Your Buttercup ❤️

“I feel so lucky to have known Mariano as both a mentor and a friend. His memory will always stay with me in PR.

I love you and will miss you. We had a lot of memories growing up together.. we were more like brothers to each other. I wish I had one more day to tell you in person that I love you. Rest now until we see each other again.  ❤️❤️🙏🙏 Leon Jr

From the moment we met, we formed a bond that never faded—no matter where life or work took us. He was more than a district manager to me; he was a true friend. We stayed in touch over the years, sharing conversations and laughter that I will always treasure.

Every Christmas, he made sure to remind me it was time for his peanut butter balls—something that became ‘our tradition,’ and one I will forever hold close to my heart.

I will deeply miss his friendship, his humor, and the genuine connection we shared. He made a lasting impact on my life, and I will carry that with me always.”
Kristy Cataneo

My dear godfather you will forever be missed and NEVR forgotten!

These are just a few moments we share, laughing, loving, and living our lives together.
