Obituary of Mario Santos

Our Beloved Mario Santos, age 60, born on April 14, 1960 in Chicago, Illinois was called by our Heavenly Father on Wednesday, July 8, 2020 in Austin, Texas.

Mario was a devoted Minister of the Gospel who worked as a Home Health Aide for the Mary Lee Foundation where he provided direct care to the mentally disabled.  He actively helped orphanages across the border with funds, supplies and food.  Mario also provided street ministry for the homeless through his church and his strong faith in the Lord Jesus Christ helped him to positively change the lives of many individuals.  He is deeply loved by his family, friends and co-workers and he will be profoundly missed.  His joyful spirit will remain in our hearts.

He was preceded in death by his parents Manuel Maximiliano Santos and Clotilde Ramirez Santos; sister Lidia Branton and brother Edwardo Santos.

 He is survived by his siblings: Elia Naughton, Hilda Corbella, Ramona Flores, John M. Santos, Alicia Santos Ziegner, Peter Santos, and Zenaida Cindy Tsung; his daughter Angie Santos; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and other loving family and friends.
