Mauro Juárez Zúñiga III, AKA Chato, age 41, was born on August 30, 1982, in Midland, Tx. He passed away on Friday, December 8, 2023.
The simplest pleasures in life brought joy to Chato. Family, good food, and a cold one in his hand was his favorite pastime. He loved cooking on Sunday night football while cheering on the Patriots, because he knew it would bring his people together… And when them Patriots had a good season, he made sure his cousins were well aware. His laughter, handsome smile, and brilliant mind will forever live on in our memories.
He is survived by his children, Mauro Zúñiga IV, Yazmaree Zúñiga, his parents, Mauro Zúñiga Jr., Martha Juárez Zúñiga, his sister, Yvette Zúñiga Bañuelos (Alan Bañuelos), his grandson Mauro Zúñiga V.
