Macario Gaxiola Obituary

September 15, 1949 - August 14, 2017 A resident of Los Angeles (formerly Orange County). Macario (Mario Lescot) passed away with his beloved wife Joan by his side. Mario and Joan spent forty years running their business, Lescot Salon in Costa Mesa. In many ways it was the Cheers of Salon's. Everybody knew your name and wanted to be there. Mario's true passion was directing theater and was a member of the Stage Directors and Choreographer's Society. Mario and Joan started The Theatre District in Orange County and produced numerous shows before heading to Los Angeles. Once in L.A., Mario directed a number of award winning shows and changed the lives of many actors who to this day credit him with their careers. Mario taught acting with The Young Americans in Corona where the kids fell in love with Mario and he with them. A memorial service will be held the end of September in Orange County. Information will be posted on facebook under Joan and Mario Lescot Circle of Friends.

I know it's late but l want Joan to know he lives on in my heart . Memories are not measured in time. We embrace them as long as we live. I can hear his voice and remember those big hands that could create such fine, delicate results. He was truly a very special guy. I am fortunate that he touched my soul and remains in my thoughts to this day. Rest In Peace Mario. Sandy Hudson Casa Grande AZ

I will never forget you Mario. I may not have met my husband if it had not been for you. It was because of you I became a redhead. Best move I ever made in my life. My husband loves redheaded women and I have been one ever since I met you and Joan. I will love and miss you much. Thank you for being a true friend.
