Mariano Bonilla, of El Paso, Texas, a retired Travel Agent and loving Husband and Father, passed away on March 17, 2024 at the age of 87. Mario is survived by his loving wife of 66 years, Angelina Bonilla, his children Dolores Glover, Yolanda Bonilla and David A. Bonilla, his son in law Danny Glover, his daughter in law Yvonne Bonilla and his beloved granddaughters Danielle Glover, Amy Bonilla and Isabella Bonilla. Mario is preceded in death by his mother Maria Elena Martinez Bonilla and his sister Josefina Bonilla-Wade. Mario was a kindhearted man who loved his family and helped his friends. Mario attended Bowie High School in the early 1950's, and had many jobs, all of which he spoke of fondly. He especially loved his last employment as a Travel Agent. Mario loved to travel, eat, and tell stories. His passion was deep sea fishing, an activity he enjoyed doing with his son and friends. Mario was loved and will be greatly missed by his family. Our comfort lies in the promise of our Lord that “to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord” (II Corinthians 5:6-8 NKJV). We love you Dad, we miss you, and we will all be together in God’s time.
