Mario Sisneroz

Mario Sisneroz, 63, of Round Rock, Texas, passed away peacefully on May 25, 2025. Born in French Camp, California, on November 2, 1961, Mario lived a life that was full of love, overflowing with joy, and unapologetically his own. To know him—even briefly—was to feel welcomed, to hear laughter, to witness resilience, and above all, to experience love rooted deeply in faith. A devoted husband, proud father, cherished brother, and faithful servant of God, Mario faced many battles throughout his life. And though he stared death in the face more than once, he never did so with fear—only with unshakable faith. Mario shared nearly 34 years of marriage with his wife, Patricia Sisneroz. Their love was a true partnership — grounded in faith, strengthened by friendship, and sustained by a deep devotion to family. Mario’s unwavering dedication to Patricia was present in everything he did, and their bond remains a shining example of love lived fully and selflessly. Mario was a proud and loving father to Crystal, Sandi, and Jacob. He embraced Nathan, Joe, and Michelle as his own, and loved them wholeheartedly. He found pure joy in the simple things — family game nights, teasing his kids, lake days-or anything by water, long roadtrips, grilling, adding spicy salsa to just about everything, belting out off-key karaoke, or just tossing the ball around with his dogs. He was especially proud to be “Grandpa” to a crew of enthusiastic grand-puppies, and he adored his own furbabies, Dallas and Bailey. Mario had a rare gift: the ability to make a friend no matter where he went. Whether you were a stranger at the grocery store, a new nurse walking into his hospital room, or someone sitting next to him at church, Mario had a way of making you feel seen, welcomed, and valued. His warmth was magnetic, his charm— unforgettable. He taught us how to live: to love with our whole hearts, to laugh without restraint, to talk to anyone and everyone like old friends, and to find strength even in the hardest moments. He taught us how to pray, how to listen, how to forgive, and how to move forward with courage. He taught us how to have a Mind like Mario. Mario wore many hats — husband, father, preacher, brother, son, neighbor, friend, mentor — but one thing never changed: he made people feel at home. For him, church was never just a building. It was people. It was connection. It was community. In fact, his very first church began in the living room of his family’s home in McAllen, Texas — a humble space filled with heart, song, and the spirit of service. He lived to share his testimony. Mario is survived by his beloved wife, Patricia Sisneroz; his children, Crystal Powers (Nathan Powers), Sandi Hagen (Joseph Hagen), and Jacob Sisneroz; his brothers, Paul and Leonard Sisneroz; and his sisters, Sadi Lugo, Virginia Sisneroz, Ramona Sisneroz, Alejandra Sisneroz, and Rosemary Sisneroz — all of California. He also leaves behind a large extended family of nieces and nephews, each of whom he loved deeply and who will carry his memory forward with love and pride. He was preceded in death by his parents, Pablo and Rosario Sisneroz, and his brother, Alfred Sisneroz. Mario will be remembered most for his enormous heart and even bigger smile — a smile that lit up every room and a heart that embraced everyone he met. Though his physical presence is gone, the legacy he leaves — of love, of faith, of fierce joy — will live on in all of us who had the privilege of knowing him.
