Cesar Augusto Escobar Aquino, 67, passed away peacefully on June 20, 2025, in Banning, California. Born in Guatemala City, Guatemala, César made a life full of purpose and warmth, living in Azusa, California; Salt Lake City, Utah; Indio, California; and most recently, Banning.
A devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Cesar is survived by his beloved wife, Ruby Maria; his children Shirley, Allan, Desiree, Jasmin, Jaqueline, and Leonel; and his cherished grandchildren: Lucia, Giana, Mateo, Natalia, Xiomara, Selena, and Nicolas.
Cesar was a dedicated school teacher, a passionate soccer player, and someone who could strike up a conversation with anyone. Known for his kindness and approachability, he built lasting friendships wherever he went. His faith played a central role in his life, and he served faithfully in many roles within his church—none more joyfully than when he was serving others.
Cesar’s legacy of love, service, and joy lives on through his family and all those who had the privilege of knowing him.
