Genaro Aguilar, age 84, of Bryan, Ohio, passed away beside his loving daughter on Thursday, March 21, 2024, at CHP Hospice Center, Defiance, Ohio. Genaro worked as a laborer for over 25 years with Con Agra. He enjoyed the outdoors, often spending his free time gardening or hunting. He also found excitement in taking his chances at a casino and loved to go out to eat. He held no preference for his dining location; so long as it kept his dishes at home clean.

Aguilar, and Manuel Barroso.  He was preceded in death by his parents; wife; two infant daughters, Maria Irma and Lisa; sister, Rosa (Cleofas) Barbosa, and a brother, Sylvestre Aguilar.
