Mario was born in Washington DC, to the late Michael and Frances Teresi. He attended Anacostia High School in Washington DC. He studied at Lincoln Technical College to obtain a certificate in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (commonly referred to as HVAC). He prided himself in being diligent and honest in his work.
Mario, or Marty as he was best known to us, was a warm, kind-hearted, mild-mannered, loving man with a generous spirit and a fine sense of humor. He was dependable and always happy to help the people in his life and would always go the extra mile on their behalf. He was a member at Trinity Baptist Church for the past 18 years and had a strong faith in the Lord. He enjoyed Sunday School and fellowship with the senior church members.
His passing was a shock to us all and his genuine, friendly, and humorous personality will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
