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.

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.

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.
