To my Dad and Best Friend,
I will miss you forever and never forget you. All the advice and memories we shared will stay with me until I see you again.
You were always positive and full of energy, always wanting to enjoy life. You pushed me to be my best, supported me through everything, and told me the truth when I needed to hear it.
As a grandfather, you excelled — the love you gave to your grandkids was priceless. I always knew I could count on you for anything.
I love you, Dad (Papa).
— Ben

He was always someone who helped without ever asking for anything in return. He always had a word of encouragement. Even when I was sad or going through problems, just talking to him made me forget everything, because he always made me laugh with his jokes. He always spoke so lovingly about my aunt (his wife); in every conversation, he mentioned her with deep affection and love. He was also incredibly proud of my cousins (his children). He was a true example of dedication to his family. To me, he was not only an uncle but also a true friend. I will miss him deeply—especially his laughter. Now he’s in heaven with Jesus, smiling—that’s how I will always remember him.

In Loving Memory of Benito Jose — My Beno
Beno was so much more than just my husband. He was my eternal love — that’s what he always called me — and I truly felt that love every day we spent together. He showered me not just with gifts, but with his time, his affection, and his heart. Even when communication between us wasn’t perfect, his love was never in question. He made sure I knew how deeply he cared for me.
Beno was loving and affectionate, stubborn at times and strong-willed always — but that strength was part of what made him who he was. A man deeply rooted in family, nothing made him happier than being home, surrounded by me, our three children, and our beautiful grandkids. That was his world, and he poured his heart into it.
He was a jokester with a laugh that filled the room, a man who could make you forget your worries with just a few words or a smile. He was caring, passionate, and always willing to help anyone who needed it. Beno had a big personality, but an even bigger heart.
What I’ll miss most is his laughter, his sense of humor, his kindness, and above all, his love.
It’s heartbreaking how short life really is. If I could go back, I would appreciate him even more, and never take a single moment for granted. But I know our love was real — even in the imperfect moments — and I will carry his memory and spirit with me for the rest of my life.
Forever my Beno.
One of my favorite memories with papa was playing cards with him and my sisters. We would play all afternoon outside. We would all be laughing and smiling. He would always make a snack that was ranch with chips, and that was one of my favorite snacks he made even if it was easy to make. He was always a kind,caring,loving,smart,brave and respectful. Sometimes he would make fun of my sisters and I and call us funny names (coming up with nicknames was one of his things).
He would always buy my sisters and I gifts even if we didn’t ask for any. Sometimes he would take us to the park and go on the slides and swings with us. If something ever came up about not going on a trip he would say “no let the girls go so they can have fun.” He was a big fan of the San Francisco 49ers, which I liked about him because I also liked the team. He would wear a stylish outfit everyday and anywhere he went.
He always liked to watch novelas, sports, and action movies. He would always watch them on the couch. Papa loved singing it was a part of him, he would sing almost everyday to his favorite songs. He would also sing while cooking in the kitchen making his famous soup. Papa was an inspiring person. He would never let anything get in his way of doing things that he loved.
I love papa with all MY HEART and I miss him a lot. I miss seeing him cooking and singing. But, I know that he wouldn’t want me to be sad. Papa will forever be in my heart and the rest of the family. Even when he went through twists and turns, he fought for his family. He will never be forgotten and always be remembered and respected for the things he loved.
I love you papa and always will ❤️

Papa
One of my favorite memories out of many with papa is when we would go outside and hang out together. He would always bring out a table, chairs, and a deck of cards. Along with that he would bring a snack and a juice for us to enjoy together. We would play cards together and laugh it all up. He would always ask me “How is school?” I would say “It’s going good papa.” He would smile and we would continue playing our card game.
Papa was one of a kind. Not only was he my grandpa but he was my best friend. I would and always will look up to him. He was so caring and kind to his family. Especially to his grandchildren. To papa his family was his world, he would always be talking very highly about them. He showed a type of love I have never felt before. He was VERY passionate about was his style. Papa’s style was out of this world, with his cowboy boots, sunglasses, 49ers gear, and not lastly his scarf. No one can forget that his signature pose was his thumbs up.
Cooking was another one of papa’s many passions. He LOVED to cook and he’s famous chicken soup was a staple. That soup would be devoured within the day. And he would make a lot of it at one time. I don’t know what he put in the soup but it’s was delicioso.
Papa was a person that would light up any room he stepped in. He had a lot of joy and showed it. His life was full and he had everything he wanted. He was so grateful for life and lived it with excitement. He knew a lot of jokes that would make people laugh. Everyone that got to meet him is very lucky. I am even luckier to have had him as my grandpa/papa.
He was and is my whole world and I am very sad that he is not here anymore. I will forever miss him but I know that he is watching me down from heaven. I love him soooo much that I can’t even explain it. His light will always shine through his family.
I will love you forever papa 👍❤️
