Mario Joseph Ghio

Mario saved my life 24 years ago. With that, he saved my kids future. I’ve often thought of him as my hero. Sad to see he’s left us.

Just found out you passed on Mario my old friend from long ago.On the football field and many a night you taking care of me.love my friend RIP

My son and his father, Nick and David Conedera and I were so sorry to hear about Mario's passing. We knew Mario from when our boys were in soccer and he was coaching them in grade school and through the kids friendships on through high school in Rancho Bernardo. I ran into Mario many times over the years in the halls at the Promomtory Office Building. He has always a caring and sweet man; always remembered Nick and asked about him whenever I saw him. We would swap stories about our kids....

It is with a heavy heart and sadness I express my sorrow and condolences to Nancy and the kids for the loss of your father and companion. I watched Mario begin his business and raise the children at an early age while going through a difficult time in his personal life. I admired Mario for the perseverance and tenacity to keep moving forward while ensuring the children were happy, healthy, and in a loving family. He was a good guy. Hard to find a man like Mario.

We will continue to...

We are deeply saddened by the news of Mario's passing. He was quite a guy/He'd give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Please accept my deepest and heartfelt condolences at this time of your loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this difficult time. Isaiah 61:1,

Mario and Paul sprinted 4 1/2 hours down the mountain and informed the Sheriff's department to rescue Joey and me off the mountain. It was 100' ceiling -...
