Alonzo Ambosis Eugene Machado, of
Wellington, Kansas, passed away on Monday, October 13, 2025 at the age of 34.
Alonzo was born the son of Micheal and Carol (Morrison) Machado on January 26, 1991 in
Wellington, Kansas.
Alonzo was a beacon of life and laughter who touched lives with his easy charm and infectious humor. Alonzo was a man of many passions, a jack of all trades, and a master of joy. He was a maintenance worker by profession, but his true calling was making every moment count. His love for riding motorcycles was not just a hobby, but a testament to his spirit of freedom and adventure. He was an avid fisherman and an ardent animal lover, his heart as boundless as the great outdoors he so loved. His zest for life was only matched by his love for cooking out and having friends and family over, his home a hub of laughter and love.
Alonzo was a jokester, always armed with a quip or a prank. An automobile enthusiast, he could often be found tinkering with engines. His love for thrilling escapades was evident in his annual Roman candle fights with his brothers every July 4th, a dangerous yet thrilling tradition that encapsulated his daring spirit. Above all, Alonzo was a loving father, his world revolving around his family, and a loyal friend, his caring nature endearing him to all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
