Emilio Esteban Casias

Emilio Esteban Casias our beloved son, youngest brother, grandson, uncle and unconditional friend to all, tragically transitioned to his next journey on September 3rd, 2024. Emilio was born on June 29, 2006 in Englewood, CO to Roberta Franco (mother) and Steve Casias (father). He leaves behind three sisters Erica (Juan) Franco, Tanei Franco, Kiara Casias and two brothers David (Kristy) Franco and Stevie Casias Jr. He also leaves 2 uncles Joe Franco and Frank (Adriana) Franco, 3 nieces, 1 nephew and his adored Nana Liz Herrera. He was preceded in death by his grandpa Robert Franco and brother Isaha Casias. 

Emilio was affectionately known as “Little Big Brother” with a soft heart and a protective nature that made those around him feel safe and cherished. His ability to bring laughter to any situation was a gift. He always knew how to make you smile and lifted spirits with his humor. Emilio loved deeply and unconditionally, always making sure those close to him felt safe and valued. Emilio had a deep love for music and nothing made him happier than singing Bruno Mars songs. His voice was as warm and lively as his personality and he never missed a chance to share it with those he loved. One of his greatest joys was being the best uncle and the bond he shared with his nieces and nephews was filled with endless love and unforgettable moments. His family will forever cherish the impact he made on their lives. 

A service to celebrate Emilio’s life will be held on Saturday September 14 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Viewing from 12:00 to 2 :00 and funeral service will be at 2:00 with burial to follow at the Mesquite City Cemetery (Hardy Way). Family and friends can sign an online memorial guestbook at www.starmortuary.com May he rest peace.
