Mr. Padilla was a great teacher, always willing to help. He was my auto shop teacher all throughout my 4 years at Pueblo. He always had a smile on his face and wore his heart on his sleeves. May he rest in peace and I also send my deepest condolences to his family.

I'm glad I meet Mr. Padilla in my freshman year at Pueblo, he was one of that teachers that made you smile and laugh while he taught you how to work on your car. My prayers and condolences go out to his family, May the creator watch over him on the next journey we all must take alone. R.I.P MR. PADILLA WFFW!!!

I remember when I first met Mr. Padilla even though I did not have him, he was a good teacher. I had a car that was easy to repair, and I remembered he taught his students the hands on on replacing parts that were needed and saved money on labor

Mr Mike Padilla was a great teacher inspiring, motivating, caring and a leader of other teachers. He was missed at Pueblo upon his retirement and no one came close to his abilities in the mechanics classroom. He was a mentor to me and many other teachers as well as a strong right hand to the administration. It made me very sad to learn of his passing because he was a respected dear friend. May he rest in peace

Mr. Padilla was my auto mech instructor at Pueblo High in the early 1960's. I remember him as being a very likeable and patient teacher. Condolences to his family.
