Mario Marquez

Mario nació de Manuel y Margarita Márquez el 10 de septiembre del 1950 en Pátzcuaro Michoacán México.

Su familia se mudó a Houston, Texas en 1951, donde Mario creció, desarrolló un amor por el aprendizaje y el conocimiento, y pasó la mayor parte de su vida. Superó muchos desafíos en su vida y, trabajando duro, creó oportunidades para sí mismo. Fue el primer miembro de su familia en asistir y avanzar en la universidad. Se graduó con un Bachillerato en Administración de Empresas con especialización en contabilidad y, posteriormente, una Maestría en Administración de Empresas, ambas de la Universidad de Houston antes de recibir la licencia de Contador Público Certificado. Después de trabajar en varios puestos en contabilidad, Mario comenzó su última carrera en 1996 como agente de bienes raíces, donde su personalidad natural de conversar le ayudó a desarrollar muchas relaciones personales y, al mismo tiempo, brindó un excelente servicio al cliente para las familias a las que servía.

A Mario le sobreviven su esposa de 50 años de matrimonio- Elida Márquez; sus hijos, Lily Yoder, Ryan Márquez y Patrick Márquez (esposa, Megan Márquez); sus nietos, Hayli, Kaleb y Noah; sus hermanos (y cónyuges), Raúl, Gloria (Larry), Janie, Marilyn (Craig) y Manuel Jr. (Lilliana), así como muchas sobrinas, sobrinos y otros familiares.

Le precedían en paz sus padres, Manuel y Margarita, y dos hermanos, Rosalinda y Luis.

Conocer y amar a Mario era amar un buen debate, ser un gran fanático de las películas clásicas, tener conocimientos de muchas cosas y nunca dejar de luchar por el éxito. Siempre será amado y extrañado profundamente.
