Mr. Jimenez passed away Monday, September 20, 2021, in Cleburne. He was born October 7, 1942, in Mexico to Antonio Cruz and Gregoria (Garcia) Jimenez. Mariano married Mary Inez Rodolfo in May 1974 in Cleburne. He worked in the Steel Forging industry as a mechanic/maintenance for Trinity Forge in Mansfield with over 20 years of service, retiring in 2009. Mariano was a quiet man but one who you listened to when he spoke. He was a family man who gave all he could to those he loved. He will be forever remembered lovingly especially when someone uses his parting words of “be good”. He truly loved to work and retired only when they made him. Mariano was a dedicated husband as well.
