It is with a heavy heart that we inform you, our father Benjamin Reyes Pena passed away on March 23rd, 2026. He passed peacefully surrounded by his wife Sonia Sanchez and daughters.

Benjamin [also known as Reyes or Reik] was born in Santa Ursula, Mexico, where he grew up before migrating to the U.S. Our father lived a very fulfilled life, always a generous person and willing to lend anyone and everyone a helping hand. Known as a kind and empathetic person, Benjamin put the wellbeing of others above his own.

From auto mechanics to making a kitchen from scratch, our father was a smart and hardworking family man. He enjoyed going to watch the latest movie with his family, always making sure we gathered and enjoyed each others company. Our father's love language was sharing a meal, something we will all forever be grateful for. Benjamin's loyalty to his family and friends knew no bounds, and it is something we hope everyone will remember him by.

Although our hearts are broken and hurt, our father always asked of us to not spend our lives mourning him, but to celebrate his life. We are forever grateful for the valuable lessons and the unconditional love he gave us. 

Forever in our hearts, rest in peace ápa.
