He had a passion for life and started on his goals quickly, he moved from his small town in the mountains of Tamaulipas to the city of Victoria. In Victoria, he fell in love with learning at the Industrial School of Specials. The knowledge he gained in Victoria provided him with the opportunity to move to Monterrey, Mexico. While in Monterrey he met a beautiful young woman, who would later become the love of his life. They built a life together and started a family. Working in Monterrey opened doors not only in Mexico but in the United States as well. While working in the U.S. in the field of turbo machinery he always made time to visit his family in Monterrey. The kids always knew when he arrived because he would always place their favorite American chips, candy, and other snacks on the kitchen table. He loved being around family and friends and never missed an opportunity to have everyone over for BBQ and watch soccer. He loved carne asada and he loved watching soccer especially the Tigres. You knew when you visited Diego you were going to have a great time! His zest for life brightened everyone’s day. He was always making everyone laugh with his funny jokes and even better stories. He will be sorely missed.
