Narciso Del Rio was born on October 8, 1975 in Coauhuila, Mexico to Maria de 18 Luz Perez and Jose Del Rio. He is survived by his siblings Gudelia, Julieta, and Elias Del Rio. He also leaves behind his greatest friend and wife Agnes, loyal companions Koda and Oso. Narciso is also survived by his son, his pride and joy, Christopher Joshua.
Narciso immigrated to Addison in 1988 and remained there until time of his death. In Addison, our beloved Narciso came to build the foundation with some of his most loyal friends. As we all know, he was in and out of trouble throughout his teens and twenties; however, he was able to turn it around and begin his life as a married man with Agnes. Narciso made his living working hard as a carpenter; he worked hard building playhouses for children. He accomplished to obtain his GED in May of 1999 and on November 1, 2008 Christopher Joshua came into his life.
Narciso was known to be an excellent dancer and enjoyed a good drink with his friends and to get into a good brawl or two. As mean as he could be, he's always had a soft heart and would help out when he could.
After learning of his diagnosis he found the love of God and the miracles that could be if you believed whole-heartedly. He cherished the remainder of his life spending it with his son and truly appreciating life.
Narciso lived two lives in his 35 years of existence: the one prior to his diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and the one after. You each will have a special memory that will make you smile, laugh, cry, or perhaps all three. He asked that you remember the man he evolved into and share those memories with his Christopher.
We won't say goodbye to this wonderful person that came in to and touched all our lives. Let's just say we'll catch up to you in a bit.
