In Loving Memory of Mario Roberto Benavides
July 4th, 1947 – May 19th, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden and heartbreaking passing of our beloved Mario Benavides— a cherished father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend — Mario immigrated from El Salvador during the Civil War. Upon arriving he radicated in Los Angeles California and called it home for the later part of his life. He will be remembered for his loving spirit, his beautiful smile, and his ability to move forward in the face of adversity.
We have created this fundraiser to help cover funeral arrangements and related expenses. Every dollar raised will go directly toward giving Mario Benavides the farewell he deserves and repatriating his body to his home country of El Salvador where he will be buried next to his parents, brothers, and son.
We are incredibly grateful for any support you can offer, whether through a donation or by sharing this page with others. Every bit of help means the world to us during this unimaginably difficult time.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, love, and support
