Mario was an awesome guy, very unique and full of life. This was an incredibly horrible tragedy. I sorely miss my good friend and wish the best for his wife and daughter.

Everyone needs to be very aware of anyone on a motorcycle. They can be missed in blind spots, so lets all not be in a hurry and respect each other on the road.

Mario was a great guy. He left behind a very loving family.
He also left behind a beautiful little girl in which he was able to leave a part of him for others to share, in which for that everyone will be grateful. Physically he will never be there but Always in spirit he will be.
Such a tragic!!
Our prayers will be with your family form our: Wess, Erinah, and Tristen Evans.

Does anyone have any more information? Mario was my cousin and our family is desperately seeking answers. Myself and my two brothers (who were very close to Mario) live out of state and have a lot of unanswered questions.

I worked with Mario at Bombardier, this was like a shot to the gut. I’ve know him for years and I cant believe that today when I leave work that I am not going to see him. He was a great friend, husband and father…. was loved by everyone that knew him. He will be dearly missed, rest in peace my brother.

For those of you who knew My cousin Mario….
You were blessed to be in his presence. He was always finding a way to make the best out of any shitty situation and make you somehow laugh your ass off. He would help anyone who was in need and expect nothing back except for a good cold beer right after. He was the person who if lost a finger, would say “F” it..I got me 9 more of these puppies! lets roll! such a loving soul with a huge heart. God forbid he ever tell you the truth…it was rough but thats what he did and he did it gracefully…well, in his own way…
Mario was a great Person, Father, Husband, Friend and most of all my cousin…we used to fight as kids (him beat me up!) over a crayon or would just feel the need to hit me over the head with Angela’s Barbie doll…the next 10 minutes were made up by both of us shaking hands, hugging forcefully by our moms then having each others back taking care of other neighborhood kids. We had so much fun together. There wasn’t a place I wouldn’t invite Mario with me…some reason I just felt safe knowing he was there and we would have the best time around all of our friends…
I miss you Mario…You left us way too soon…I was supposed to have a kid and wife for us to grow old together and pull shotguns out on our kids dates. You will always be loved. I will tell all the stories in the world to your lil Eva. Shill will know that her Father cherished her and her mom with an endless amount of love….May god grasp you under his wing and hold you there til we meet again…
Love you always,
Roman

Roman,
I sent the info you gave to all the people that he worked with and we are wondering if the burial is going to follow? If you would like you can reply back to me at desert_irish@cox.net. Thank you.

Thank you for what you’ve said Roman. You’ve somehow managed to find the words I still can’t. Though this void is permanent, we’ll all make it through this together.

What a terrible loss! I went to High School with Mario’s wife and knew Mario since I was a young teenager. Although I have not talked to him for some time, I understand that he was a devoted husband and an AWSOME father. My heart truly goes out to his wife and his children and all of his family and friends.

I only knew Mario for a few years, but in that time, I found he was truly a wonderful person. He was always good to me, and I could tell he loved his friends, and they him. He was a happy guy and he loved life. I could see though, that he loved his wife and baby girl more than anything. He adored her the way every father should. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone mourning his tragic passing. I have to say that even though I was no longer in their lives…I will miss him.

I watched Mario grow from a young boy into a wonderful young man, My fondest memory of him is when he didn’t know I was watching him while he was looking at his mother… with such adoration. His eyes sparkled, I was lucky enough to see it again another time, he was looking at his girlfriend with the same sparkle in his eyes. The mother of his little girl I heard they’ve had. (I’ve not seen them for a bit.) He always had a smile and he was so sensible, always thought about what he was going to say before doing so. His death is a tragedy. I will not be present at your ceremony, I’ll remember you as I do.. with that sparkle in your eyes. God keep you in his loving heart. Alma, Lou and Family
