He loved to play video games and drink a beer after work. When his family would get ready to go somewhere Angela would tell their eldest daughter Abrielle “Go show your dad how pretty you are.” She would run to him and he would say, “Oh yea, you look pretty as ma ma’s” and then just smile.

After working with his uncle Omar, he loved to just kick back with his cousins and Omar and play horse shoes or dominoes, or just goof off at Menards.

He was very proud to be a father, and he loved when people would tell him his 2 girls looked just like him. Mondo’s face always lit up when he would talk of his girls. Everyone knew and told him he was gonna be a good father because of his child like heart. Everyone adored Mondo Mejia. He was just so lovable.
