It is with deep sorrow and much love that we announce the passing of Aroldo Cantú De León, who entered eternal rest on October 1, 2025, at the age of 79. Born on November 2, 1945, in Cruillas, Tamaulipas, México, Aroldo was the beloved patriarch of the De León family, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend whose life was marked by strength, resilience, and unwavering faith.
