Celestino excelled in the ROTC Military program. He was also a member of the swim

team and participated in the marching band. Celestino spent his summer vacations

working with children at the West Dallas

Boys Club. He graduated from Crozier Tech

High School in 1970 and earned a degree from Mountain View College. After

graduation, Celestino enlisted in the United States Navy. He served aboard three US

Naval carriers: the USS America, USS Independence, and USS Eisenhower. Upon

leaving the Navy in 1980, he returned to Dallas and served four years in the Naval

Reserves followed by 12 years of service in the Army National Guard. Celestino and

his wife Patsy married young and had eight children, three of whom are autistic. This influenced Celestino to learn about the effects of autism and he became involved
in the lives of many disabled and mentally ill children. He also became a faithful volunteer
in Dallas ISD programs and other organizations that help children, including the Special Olympics. Celestino Mauricio Soto Jr. died in July of 2002.
