He was a member of Living Waters Worship Center, Seguin, Tx., where he served as an usher for many years. His love and dedication to gardening and yard work was admired by many who passed by his house. He was a very proud man and often said, "If you are going to take the time to do something and no matter what it is, do it to the best of your ability because no matter what you do, in the end it will always have your name on it."

Margarito was known by many as a God fearing, God loving, Cheerful, kind and loving man and was a friend to many.
