Adolfo was born on May 16, 1966 to parents, Mary Garcia and Adolfo Deleon Lechuga in Los Angeles, CA. Adolfo grew up in Joliet, IL and San Antonio, TX surrounded by extensive family and friends. He considered family relationships and friendships to be of great value and continued these close bonds his entire life. Adolfo moved to Minnesota upon starting a family of his own. After moving to Minnesota, Adolfo worked at AMPI in New Ulm, MN and Ochs Brick in Springfield, MN. He shared his life with Sharon Theis. Adolfo devoted his last nine years of life to solely raising his children and grandchildren and to his hobbies of fishing, cooking, outside get-togethers, camping, traveling, music & dancing and enjoying friendships.

Adolfo was a kind and spirited person with a passion for life. He is best remembered for his witty sense of humor, positive outlook on life and strong-hearted determination. He would always help a fellow person in need and extend his time and home to those he knew.
