My thoughts and prayers to the family. I grew up with Margarito. We were neighbors for many years, attended Webber Junior High School. Margarito and I also worked together for the Department of Human Services. My mom and dad were his God parents. Those were good times, we were all young and full of energy.
Rest in peace Margarito.

My brother loved his family especially his grand and great grandchildren. He loved family gatherings, cooking on the grill. He always had something funny to say about everyone. He will be missed dearly.
