Leonel Rios, age 50, of Scranton, died Saturday.
Born in Puebla City, Mexico, on April 19, 1968, Leonel was the son of Jorge Rios and the late Susana Moran Rios. A local resident for over 30 years, he worked for Green Fiber in Wilkes Barre.

Passing away unexpectedly, he will forever be missed.
He is survived by his loving children, Ashley and Joseph Rios, both of Scranton; his siblings, Judith Rodriguez, Norma, Gabriela and Cuauhtemo Rios, all of Scranton; and many nieces and nephews.
