Santiago Nino Obituary

On June 10, 1967 he married Beatriz Marroquin in Edinburg, Texas. Jimmy and Beatriz moved to Hanford, California in 1976 to make their home and raise their three children. He was of Catholic faith.

He was an accomplished musician with vocals, playing the guitar and his favorite instrument was the accordion. Jimmy was Head Custodian at the Kings River Hardwick School for over 33 years. Jimmy enjoyed his cup of coffee all day long, going to the casinos, taking care of his yard and quiet times in the evening. His family has always been very important to him and he especially enjoyed times spent together.

Mr. Jimmy was one of the finest men I've ever known. He always had a "Hello" or a smile whenever we met. I will miss him as I know so many will. To his family I send prayers of peace in remembering all of those special times together.

It is the simple things in life that often bring the most joys. Jimmy didn't seem very complicated. Rather he was a simple and straight forward man who just plain loved his family. I hope that you all will be able to find comfort in the memory of his life.

Yesterday I went to pick up Alyssa for Kings River and there was a janitor cart in the breeze way by the cafeteria and when I saw that I just expected Jimmy to come walking out of the cafeteria and grab his cart like i always saw him do when I was waiting for her to get out of school. He will be missed dearly. My prayers are with your family.
