Julio Mancias

      Julio Landa Mancias, 85, entered into eternal rest on Wednesday December 16, 2020, at St. Luke’s Medical Center in Twin Falls, Idaho, due to Covid-19. 

     He was born in Realitos, Texas on December 20, 1934. He married our mother Maria Lydia Leos (Castaneda) and welcomed five children into their lives. They later divorced, but remained friends.

     He was preceded in death by: his parents - Julian and Apolonia; son - Mario, sister - Virginia Landa, brothers - Genaro, Eduardo, Adrian, Ramon, Guadalupe; brother-in-law - Lupe Leos and sister - Delores Leos.    

     The family wishes to send a special thanks to the staff at Bennett Hills Rehabilitation and Care Center of Gooding, Idaho for the care and compassion they gave their father.
