With profound sadness and heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved father, brother, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Mario Coronado Sr., who passed away peacefully on June 25, 2025, at the age of 81, surrounded by his loving family.

Family was the foundation of Mario's world. Affectionately known as "Wello," he was the heart of the Coronado family—a steady, wise, and loving presence. He was the proud father of six children, grandfather to 24, and great-grandfather to 27. His legacy lives on through each of them, not only in their blood but in the values he modeled: hard work, humility, and unwavering love.

To say Mario was a fan of the Dallas Cowboys would be an understatement. He was a passionate, lifelong supporter who never missed a game and wore his Cowboys gear with pride. Game days were more than just football—they were moments of joy, connection, and tradition shared with those he loved.

Mario was a hardworking and devoted man whose life was built on strength, generosity, and love. As a skilled welder, he took immense pride in his craft, often found with tools in hand and a willingness to lend his expertise to anyone in need. He worked with passion, always creating and repairing—not just with metal, but in the lives of those around him.

Though our hearts ache with his absence, we take comfort in knowing that his love lives on in all of us. He will be deeply missed, forever cherished, and never forgotten.
