Mario Joseph Moreno

September 25th, 1983 – June 1st, 2021

Mario Joseph Moreno, 37, passed away Tuesday, June 1st, 2021 in Austin, TX. Mario was born in Indianapolis, Indiana to Carla Lou (Shivley) Moreno and Michael Joseph Moreno on September 25th, 1983. Mario growing up spent time all around the country, including Indiana with his grandma Moreno, dad, and brother Cameron; in Michigan with his mom and brother Mark, and Oregon with aunts/uncles/cousins, where he learned to hunt and fish. He attended Lawrence North High School. Mario worked at AmeriCold in Indianapolis for 12 years before moving to Austin, TX in 2016. He then worked at UpSpring LLC for 4.5 years as a Warehouse Team Leader.

Mario was known for his positive energy, sense of humor, and his kindness. Everyone describes Mario as a gentle giant and the personification of a friend. His co-workers remember him as a prankster and being a bright spark in this world. Mario left everyone he spoke to feeling a little more happy and brought laughter to their day. It only took meeting Mario once to be endeared by him and remember him forever. He was happiest spending time with his wife and being a big brother and uncle. Mario lived life to the fullest. Some of Mario’s favorite activities were having friends over for UFC fights where Mario would grill and entertain, watching Colts football, Michigan games, Redwings hockey, his love for fast cars and motorcycles, his continued love for fishing on occasion (even being in the city) with friends, along with dancing and always being the life of the party. It was also one of his greatest joys to spend time with Cameron, Justine, Preston, Presley, Layla & Teddy.

Mario is survived by his beloved wife of 9 years and companion of 17 years, Renee Kay (Jones) Moreno; mother Carla L. (Shivley) Moreno, father - Michael J. Moreno; grandmother – Mary E.
