Mando never met a stranger because within a few minutes he would make you, his friend. He had a bright and energetic personality and would light up every room he would walk into. He shared his passion for the love of music with many and instantly you were encouraged to dance. He will be remembered for his love for life and living every moment to the fullest, willingness to explore, and his humorous personality. His endless generosity and countless acts of kindness made this world brighter. He enjoyed sharing his wisdom and life lessons with his family and loved ones daily. He loved creating memories alongside his lifelong friends playing golf, listening to music in the backyard, traveling and visiting many bucket list destinations around the world. He loved coaching his kids’ sports teams and took great joy and pride in being cheer captain Dad this year. Home renovations, watering the lawn, hanging out in the outdoors brought him joy and last but not least, he loved the Cowboys and the Spurs.

He took great satisfaction in sharing with all his family and friends his fondness for beach vacations and he created everlasting memories doing every water activity possible. Mando will be greatly missed here on earth, but every single person whom has been blessed to have been a part of his life will carry his love in their hearts for eternity.

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers for thereby some have entertained angels unaware.

Hebrews 1 3 : 2

And he’d love to remind everyone “It’s just bucks”, “one more never hurt anyone” and if you are ever in an awkward situation in a bad bar just say you have a “family emergency” and leave.

Always ask yourself, “What would Mando do?”
