boys. He loved performing in every aspect whether it be on stage or
in front of his family and friends. Claudio also enjoyed playing
softball. He attended Odessa High School and made many friends in the
short time he had. Claudio was the type of person you just wanted to
be around. The drive and passion he had burning in his heart made you
love him even more. We love you Claudio and you will be missed more
than you can imagine.
Your
eyes have seen my actions, in your book they are all written my days
were limited before one of them existed. Psalm 139:16
