Dario J. Saucedo, age 53, went to his heavenly home on July 23, 2026, at Methodist Hospital in San Antonio, surrounded by his loving family.

Born in Menard, Texas, Dario was the son of Ector Saucedo and Esther Flores.  He grew up in Plains, Kansas, and graduated from Southwestern Heights High School in 1991.  A few years following graduation, he moved to San Antonio, Texas, where he made his home for more than 30 years.  During that time, he built countless lifelong friendships, many of which began on the golf course, where his love for the game brought people together and created lasting memories.

Dario was an avid golfer who loved fishing, hunting, and listening to music.  More than anything, he valued the time he spent with his family and friends.  He was a treasured husband, a loving father, a cherished son, a proud brother, a fun-loving uncle, and a dear cousin whose presence brought joy to every gathering.  He will be remembered for his contagious laugh, quick wit, unforgettable jokes, and the unwavering way he showed up for the people he loved.

He is survived by his wife, Sheri Saucedo of San Antonio: his father Ector Saucedo and wife, Araceli, of Menard; his mother, Esther Flores of Menard; his twin brother, Mario (Stephanie) Saucedo of Meade, Kansas; his brothers, Arnold (Vicky) Saucedo of Menard, Texas, and JJ (Sonya) Saucedo of  Bridge City, Texas; his sister, Lusinda (Guillermo) Castorena of Menard, Texas.

He was preceded in death by his beloved son, David; his paternal grandparents, Clarita and Enrique Saucedo; an his maternal grandparents, Jesus and Josephine Castanuela.
