Octavio C. Godinez, 75 died peacefully at his home on March 9, 2020, surrounded by loving family. The way he passed is just how he lived: he wrote his own rules, fought and exuded strength and paved his own way when he was ready.

Godinez, who shared 48 years of marriage based on mutual support and deep love for each other.
