As a child Tito would be playing with his cars, outside catching lizards and love playing with his friends.  He was very picky with what he ate, and would always  “mommy, my stomach wants hotdogs with ketchup” or his other favorite one was “mommy my stomach wants chorizo con huevos”. 
We would take trips back to Kingsville to visit family in the summer.  Tito would always catch lizards and bring them home.  He loved animals and especially reptiles. 
Tito started kindergarten in Algiers, LA which he pulled the fire alarm on a dare. And for the rest of his schooling was done in San Diego, CA.  He graduated from Morse High he enjoy the working in the Hungry Tiger. 
Tito started working at the Spring Valley Swap meet directing traffic it was a fun job, you can see him with his straw hat.  He work at Jack Murphy Stadium for a couple of years.  For a couple of years he work for San Diego Coaster but his child hood dream came true when he got his job at the San Diego Zoo.  He work at the Zoo over twenty years.  Tito loved his Zoo family so much.
Tito enjoyed spending time with his dogs and his mini zoo he had at home.  He love plants and wanted to make an oasis in our yard that was his goal. 
Tito loved his family and friends very much, he was a very sweet person our teddy bear.  If he could help you he would.  He always had a smile and made you feel happy. 
Tito didn’t like to fly so his travel was via car.  Multi visits with friends to Las Vegas.  His favorite thing to do was to attend the reptile convention every year, which he would bring something home.  He loved his Dallas Cowboys and love watching Rugby.  Reggae and oldies you could always hear him listening to his music everywhere he went.  He found humor in shirts and hats he would wear.
Right before the pandemic we lost our beloved mother Maria she was his world.  He was still her baby boy.  Tito took care of Nalani and I during the pandemic we would do tag off to go to the store.  He would wait in long line to get what we needed. 
Tito has one niece Nalani that he help raise.  Uncle Tito would pick her up from school, take her to 7 11 for snacks.  He loved her so much always called her his baby.  He had so much love in him is cousins far and near he was always proud of them.

Tito had the love for the Lord and called out during his struggles with his health the last eight months he didn’t lose faith.  He fought so hard and accept what he needed to do til the end.  He is a warrior in so many ways.  On August 27, 2021 at 5:23  AM with his niece and sister by his side when he took his last breath. His coworker told me that 5:23 AM was when he would check in each day to work.  Tito check in to his new adventure.
