Oscar Montero, 23

Oscar Montero, a beloved son, father, and entrepreneur, passed away on April 28, 2026. Born on October 15, 2002, in Independence, Kansas, he was the cherished child of Rosendo Montero and Aurelia Angel. From his earliest days in Independence to his youth spent in Beloit, Oscar's life was marked by a blend of ambition, warmth, and a uniquely spirited personality.

After graduating from St. John's Catholic School in Beloit, Kansas, Oscar entered the workforce with determination and focus. He later pursued his entrepreneurial dreams by establishing his own business, MC Autoworks Detailing. Through this venture, he exemplified his dedication and drive, always aspiring to build something meaningful for himself and those around him.

Oscar embraced fatherhood in 2023 with the birth of his son, Mylen, whom he had with his then-fiancée, Riley Hess. Their shared moments-whether baking cookies that disappeared in less than ten minutes or cozy slumber parties in the living room filled with favorite snacks-remain treasured memories, reflecting the deep joy and pride he held as a father. His love for Mylen was a radiant part of his life.

Known for his goofy smile, spontaneous nature, and steadfast ambition, Oscar was a man who marched to the beat of his own drum. He had a reputation as a pretty good handyman and an avid lover of the outdoors, where he often spent time with friends and family. He dreamed passionately about creating a special place for "his people," underscoring his visionary outlook and caring heart.

Oscar is survived by his loving father, Rosendo Montero, and his devoted mother, Aurelia Angel. He leaves behind his cherished son, Mylen, as well as his siblings Maria Diers (and her spouse, Chip) of Beloit; Ana Leon (and her spouse, Jose) of Beloit; Laura Montero (and her partner, Noe) of North Carolina; Luis Montero (and his partner, Kim) of Beloit; and Rosendo of North Carolina. He also is remembered fondly by his nieces Yessenia (and her spouse, Tyler) of Olathe, Kansas, Emma, and Preciosa, alongside nephews Rafael, Victor, Asael, Patrick, and Ryker.

Services to honor Oscar's memory will be held at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, located at 701 East Court Street in Beloit, Kansas. Visitation with family present will take place on Thursday, May 7, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., followed by a Rosary service at 7:00 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be on Friday, May 8, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Inurnment will follow at St. John's Cemetery.

Oscar Montero's life, though too brief, was rich with dreams, love, and an indomitable spirit that touched all who knew him. He leaves behind a legacy of devotion to family, a passion for life, and a vision that will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to share in his journey. His memory will forever be a beacon of his unique light and genuine warmth.
