Marcelo Rene Aillon
Marcelo Rene Aillon, age 66, a Pearland, TX resident since 1981, formerly of Chicago, IL passed away December 30, 2020 in Houston, TX. Marcelo proudly served his country in the U.S. Army. He was a member of St. Helen Catholic Church and worked for H.A. Franz and Company for 36 years.
Marcelo was a loving, kind, generous, patient and devoted man. He grew up in Quito, Ecuador and was very proud of his heritage, often sharing vivid stories of his childhood. Because of this love for his heritage, he made sure to bring his family back to his birthplace to create new precious memories and experiences for them to have and enjoy.
He was passionate about his profession, jukeboxes and arcade games. He spent most of his free time listening to music and repairing games in his shop. His hobbies included watching movies, music, outdoor activities, drinking coffee, and experiencing new restaurants.
He was a devoted husband and father who never missed a football game, dance recitals or any event that involved his children or grandchildren. He always made a priority to take family vacations and spend quality time together.
He was a wonderful son, brother, husband, father, and grandfather. His granddaughters meant the world to him and he would do anything for them. He was short in stature but big at heart. Marcelo will continue to live on through his children and grandchildren. His spirit and energy will be with us always to give us the strength and love to carry on. We love you. Rest in Peace and we will see you again in Heaven.

So sorry for your lost. Prayers are going out to your family.
So very sorry for your loss. Marcelo was a wonderful co-worker and an extremely well respected man in the Amusement Industry. I will miss his smile and sense of humor. Prayers to your family and a very heartfelt “thank you” for sharing him with the rest of us. God bless you all.
One of the most influential people I have met. I will truly miss him. He was like family to me. After working with him for many years, I grew attached and looked forward to seeing my friend everyday. Just the other day I swear he was waiting on me to drink our morning coffee, but it was just imagination. My days seem longer without him around. I know he meant alot to his family, and pray that their pain is eased as they are missing him even more. He was a great friend who will be dearly missed ❤.
He will be sorely missed as I have known him from HA Franz, now known as AVS. Pray for his family..

My condolences for your loss. Marcello has worked on my equipment for many years and was always there to help me no matter the problem. I have known him for many years and I feel honored to have been his friend. He will be truly missed. He was the best jukebox technician around and was always able to fix them. May he rest in peace and may God give comfort to his family during this time.

The person that I always looked forward to see & visit with, the person that always made me feel relaxed and at ease to be with, the person who in our younger years I looked up for support and the person that did not even blinked when I asked for advice and or help, the person that I had a precious, unique and great bond with, that person is, was and will always be my brother Marcelo.
If I had a chance to visit with him one more time, there will be no words that could express and define the joy & gladness that I would feel to see him again.
But now, as the Lord our God has better plans for all our futures, and together with the prayers from all of us, Marcelo is with him.
Melody, Jesica, Jonathan, my sincere & deepest sympathy for the loss of a great husband and father. I will always be there for you, so don’t hesitate to contact me.
Love, peace to all

My deepest sympathy goes to Marcelo’s family. I will always be eternally grateful for Marcelo’s kindness and helpfulness when I needed help repairing machines and jukeboxes. He never said, no to helping me and would travel to Galveston to help when needed. I will miss him deeply. Prayers for him will always be said, and May Marcelo rest in peace. I will miss you my dear friend.
