Marcelo was a loving father and grandfather. He was a proud veteran that served our country in the US Army for 20 years, serving in the Vietnam War. In the military he learned many skills and traditions, and throughout the years, he never forgot them. He was very organized, always made sure his shoes were shined and was rarely seen not wearing his military jacket, in which he wore with honor. He was a fan of the Dallas Cowboys and enjoyed watching them play with his friends and family. Marcelo will be missed by those that knew and loved him.
