Mario Gordillo was injured when his car went into Pigeon River in Canton JUe 5, 2019. He died yesterday at Mission Hospital in Asheville. His employer, Anderson McNair General Contractors (Team Anderson) setup a GoFundMe to help his wife, three young children and funeral expenses:
Angels appear in many different ways and this particular angel, Mario G, worked side-by-side with many local sub-contractors, building and constructing homes in the Asheville area, for Anderson Mcnair contractors. He always had a huge smile to share, a kind word of encouragement for everyone, and an excellent work ethic and amazing craftsmanship. From Mexico, Mario worked beginning at age 5 to help his family there, and eventually came to the US, desiring the American dream, starting his own family, attending church, going to school to learn English, and working long hours every week.
He leaves behind three young children and his wife, and many friends, Co-workers, and his church family. He leaves a legacy of encouragement, prayer and smiles. Mario is already greatly missed. He touched anyone and everyone he met. His tragic end is simply unbelievable.
A few other angels met him the day of his wreck. A couple high school students from Pisgah helped rescue him from the submerged car. By standers and drivers who saw the wreck made awesome rescue efforts and as one said, were not going to sit by and watch someone die.
So many angels gathered that day, June 5, 2019. The doctors at Mission Hospital did everything they could to give Mario his life back, but it was not in Gods will and today June 10 2019, God gathered him up and the Angels in heaven sang.
We do not understand it but pray for peace for Mario's sweet babies, and his grieving wife and family. They need help, prayers, and money for funeral expenses.
Thank you for anything your hearts desire to contribute here to this campaign for Mario's family.
