Mauricio Vargas Obituary (1950 - 2025)

In Loving Memory of Mauricio Vargas December 17, 1950 – January 6, 2025 It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Mauricio Vargas, who lost his courageous battle with cancer in the comfort of his home in Las Vegas, NV, surrounded by loved ones on January 6, 2025, at the age of 74. Born on December 17, 1950 in Jalisco, Mexico, and gained U.S. citizenship in 1988, Mauricio was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend whose life touched the hearts of many. A skilled mechanic by trade, he owned and operated his own shop, earning the respect and admiration of his community. In the later years of his life, Mauricio found great joy in his work as a casino attendant, where his magnetic personality and infectious smile made him a beloved figure to all who met him. Mauricio had a rare gift of making friends wherever he went. His warmth and kindness drew people in, and he will always be remembered for his ability to connect with others, leaving a lasting impact on everyone he encountered. He leaves behind his loving wife, Magdalena, with whom he shared 51 years of cherished memories, and two sons; Mauricio Jr. and Cesar, who continue his legacy of strength and love. He was also the proud grandfather of four grandchildren whose lives were enriched by his wisdom, guidance, unconditional love, and many trips to McDonald’s and the pool. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him, and his memory will live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who were lucky enough to know him. May his love, spirit, and the lessons he shared continue to inspire us.
