Marcos Esparza, Van Horn High School Teacher, Passes Away Leaving Community in Grief

Marcos Esparza—A beloved teacher at Van Horn High School, Marcos Esparza, passed away unexpectedly on August 10, 2024, due to a cardiac arrest. His sudden death has left his community, friends, and family in deep sorrow. Marcos was known for his kindness, thoughtfulness, and dedication to his students, consistently bringing out the best in them. He was not only an admired educator but also the sole provider and emotional support for his mother, Mary Licon.

At the time of Marcos’ passing, his mother Mary was already in critical condition in the ICU at the same hospital. The devastating news of her son’s death caused her to suffer a severe heart attack. While she was revived, she remains in poor health, both physically and emotionally. Marcos was her only child, and his loss has left her without financial or emotional support.

Evangelina Bender, a close family friend, has set up a fundraiser to support Mary Licon’s recovery and future needs. With Mary still battling her health issues, the fundraiser seeks to provide the much-needed financial support as she faces an uncertain future without her son’s help. So far, kind donations have been made by individuals such as Gilda Morales and Brenda Fox.

Marcos’ passing has deeply impacted his school, where he was not just a teacher but a cherished figure to both his students and colleagues. His legacy of kindness and support will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Esparza family. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this painful time. May Marcos rest in peace, and may Mary find strength and healing in the days to come.
