Honorato was a native of Mexico, and was living in Apopka, Florida, at the time of his death. His Facebook page, now a dedication to his memory, indicates that he worked at a catering company called FajitaMex Mexican Catering. In a sit-down interview with MSNBC (at a restaurant said to be owned by the Honorato family), Honorato's older brother, Jose Honorato, described some of Honorato's special qualities.

"My brother was a hardworking man, he was a boss," Jose Honorato said. He described his younger brother as a family man, someone who would often have breakfast with his mom and family. He had three children, MSNBC reported.
