Mario Leija, 57, beloved husband and father, was called to his eternal resting place on January 31, 2021. He entered this world January 10, 1964 in Nuevo Leon, born to Bernardo and Maria Leija.
Mario was a great husband, father, grandfather, a pastor and friend. Mario’s favorite thing to do was be around his wife, kids and grandkids when he got the chance and make tacos or even have a BBQ together. he enjoyed reading and learning the word of God on his own time. With the help of God he was called to begin the church named “Un Mejor Pacto” and loved to preach the word of God the way that he did. He was always there for everyone and anyone and could ever rarely get a “No” from him. He was always a helpful, loving, and caring man of God. What he loved more than anything was having all his family gathered together for a Sundays’ service to hear the word of God.
He was survived by his wife, Nilza Leija and his children Lizette Leija, Mario Leija, Sara Leija, Abigail Leija, Nathan Leija, Timothy Leija, Anneth Leija, and Edith Leija.
