Benito Herrera, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and brother, passed away peacefully on August 4, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was born on August 9, 1938, in Balanga, Bataan, and lived a life that touched many hearts, leaving behind a legacy of love and resilience.
Benito was a devoted family man, deeply loved by his wife, Flordeliza, and his daughters, Theresa Espino (son in law, Renato Espino) and Sharon Herrera. His life journey included the joy of watching his family grow, as he was proud to be the grandfather of Michael, Christopher, Patrick, Rachel, Jade, Erika, and Katrina. The arrival of his great-grandchildren—Rylan, Rory, Jaxson, and Isla—brought him immense happiness and a sense of fulfillment that few can fully appreciate.
He is also survived by his beloved sisters, Lualhati and Violeta Herrera, who share in the grief of this profound loss. Benito was predeceased by his daughter, Rouella, whose absence has left an unfillable space in the family.
Throughout his years, Benito exemplified strength, kindness, and an unwavering devotion to his loved ones. He will be remembered not only for his contributions to his family but also for the love and warmth he shared with all who were fortunate enough to know him. As we gather to celebrate his life, let us honor his memory by cherishing our loved ones and spreading the kindness he embodied.
The family expresses their deep sorrow at this loss, and while his physical presence may be gone, Benito's legacy will forever remain in the hearts of those who loved him.
