Our beloved father and husband Mario U Aranda passed away on October 31, 2025 surrounded with the love from his family.

Mario spent most of his life in the Welding profession. He worked 40 years with Mosher Steel then another 10 years with Crown Steel. He then decided to focus on retirement.

He loved spending time with his family especially trips to the coast and the Kickapoo gambling casino. He was a fan of the Dallas Cowboys and enjoyed those days of sports and BBQ. He also had a passion for gardening. He and our mom Ninfa were very active with the SA Senior Center and enjoyed many activities with the community.

Mario will be dearly missed but is deeply loved and forever in the hearts of his wife Ninfa, daughter Sara Lares (Edward Lares son in law), son Mario Jr and daughter Cynthia Aranda-Garcia; six grandchildren include Alfredo Garcia III, Alex Garcia, Araceli Garcia, Daniel Lares, Samantha Lares and Nickolas Lares; one great grandchild Rayne Lares; as well as many more families and friends.
