Born December 27, 1973, in Fort Worth, Texas to Mario De La Fuente, Jr. and Santa Davila De La Fuente, Mario’s greatest joy in life was his children and granddaughter whom he loved more than anything in this world. They were the center of his life and his greatest pride. Mario had a deep capacity for love that touched everyone who knew him. Even in the face of lifelong health challenges, he remained a source of comfort, warmth, and strength to those around him. His life was a testament to perseverance, loyalty, and the importance of family. Through every hardship, he continued to fight – showing up with love and devotion to the people who mattered most.
