Mayor Daniel Guerrero, the San Pedro Town Council and Staff would like to extend its sincere condolences to the Nu�ez family and friends on the passing of Mr. Alberto "Don Beto" Nu�ez.

Mr. Alberto Nu�ez, or as affectionately known as "Don Beto" served as Mayor of San Pedro Town from 1997-2003. Before his time as Mayor he ventured into working in various types of trades: in construction, as a fisherman, owned his truck service; he was a "Jack of all trades." His contribution to the island of Ambergris Caye were of passion and perseverance, as he had immense love for his island.

We bid farewell to a true pioneer of San Pedro Town. May his soul rest in peace.

A true San Pedrano.
