Cesar

He’s one of the three Custodio brothers who retired from the US Navy. With his wife Onor and their two children John C and Leanne, they decided to plant their roots in Carson City, Nevada where his sister Mila is living with her family. Mila eventually moved to Las Vegas but Cesar and family stayed and thrived up north.

In October of 2004, he got diagnosed with lung cancer and he was given a few months to live but he fought mightily. Whether it be chemo, radiation or alternative treatment - as in acupuncture or herbal medication, he did it all. Onor and daughter Leanne researched the Internet extensively for any treatment possible. Last July, when his oncologists pretty much gave up on him, he decided to give the City of Hope in Southern California a try but to no avail. Unfortunately, he would never go into remission and last Friday, his Maker took him home. He would have been 54 on October 30.

He loved singing and jamming with his brothers.

Goodbye, Cesar. You’ll be missed.
