Mario Beltran Obituary

Mario Emilio Beltran, 79, of Dover, died unexpectedly in Cochabamba, Bolivia on January 29, 2019 of a brain embolism. He was born on July 17, 1939 in Cochabamba, Bolivia, the son of Emilio Beltran and Marta Johannessen. He moved to the U.S. in 1960.

Mario devoted the entirety of his career to the U.S. government in one form or another, including active duty in the USAF, USAF Reserves and a stint with the Foreign Service. He was a lifelong sports enthusiast, excelling in soccer, volleyball, swimming, diving, running, tennis and, for the last 30 years, golf. There was not a sport on television that he did not enjoy watching.

He is survived by his beloved wife of more than 57 years, Carmelin Amestegui Beltran; brothers Jorge Eduardo Beltran, Luis Fernando Beltran and predeceased by Jose Emilio Beltran; sons Mario Gonzalo Beltran (Missy), Mark Anthony Beltran, Michael Patrick Beltran (Timothy); cherished grandchildren Kyle, Shea, Amalia and Marisol; extended family and countless friends.

The family will hold a memorial service later this spring upon Carmelin's return to Dover. Details to be announced.
