Beto was born in December 14, 1967 in Laredo, Texas. He graduated from Dr. Leo Cigarroa High School in 1986. He proudly dedicated five years of service to the United Independent School District, ten years to the Laredo Bridge System and five years to Alert Security. He was exceptionally devoted to his wife and family. He especially adored his granddaughters and enjoyed spending time with them as much as possible, He was a very loving husband and a wonderful father. He was also a very hard working man. He always had a "project" up his sleeve (in some cases, "surprises") and always worked hard to finish what he started. His motto was "You can do it yourself!" He had such a passion that with his own two hands, he built his version of a 1978 Chevrolet truck, horse stables and fencing in the family ranch, his first beautiful two story home for him and his family and a lot of other projects. In addition, his hobbies and favorite past times were to spend time with his family at the ranch and enjoy the outdoor activities such as swimming, hunting, camping, fishing, family cookouts, horse back riding and traveling. He was a wonderful, kind person that carried a heart of gold that made people fall in love with him. He has left beautiful footprints in our hearts and pearls of wisdom in our memory box to treasure forever. He will be greatly missed by those who loved him.

The Navarro Family is deeply grateful to the doctors, especially Dr. Cesar Ricci, nurses and staff at The Transplant ICU in the twelfth floor at The University Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas for all their hard work and support.
