Mingo was known for a smile that could light up any room. His kindness and generosity were felt by everyone who knew him, and he was always willing to help anyone who crossed his path. He had a unique way of making people feel seen, welcomed, and cared for, leaving a lasting impression through even the smallest acts of love.

"For we know that if our earthly house were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."
Mingo will be deeply missed and forever loved. His memory will continue to shine through the lives he touched.
