Publish in a newspaper
Lio was a senior at Mississinewa High School. From a young age, he showed a remarkable talent for sports, having participated in soccer, football, basketball, golf, and especially baseball, where he excelled as a shortstop and most importantly, a teammate. His passion for the game was matched by his kindness and his ever-present smile. Lio was recently accepted to attend Indiana Wesleyan University in the fall of 2025, with dreams of making a significant impact on the world.
Lio was a beloved son, grandson, brother, uncle, and friend. He approached everything he did with full heart and passion, striving for perfection. His presence made the world a better place. Lio had such a pure heart and he always made sure his family knew he loved them and he loved people well!
