Gardening was also an outdoor hobby he truly enjoyed. The Dallas Cowboys were his favorite team to watch during football season, and he also loved watching boxing. He also enjoyed his road trips to Mexico to see his sister. Above everything else, Nazario enjoyed weekends with his family, spending time together and bbq-ing.
