Javier Benavides Velazquez Obituary
Javier Benavides Velázquez, de 66 años y residente de San Benito, Texas, falleció el jueves 16 de abril de 2026 en el Valley Baptist Medical Center-Harlingen. Fue una persona muy querida, conocida por su amor por la vida al aire libre, ámbito en el que pasaba incontables horas dedicándose a la jardinería, la pesca y la caza. Javier sentía un profundo afecto por toda clase de animales y disfrutaba explorando nuevos restaurantes. Se deleitaba enormemente con la belleza de la naturaleza -visitando con frecuencia los parques locales- y era una persona muy sociable que encontraba gran alegría en la compañía de familiares y amigos.
Nacido el 20 de abril de 1959 en El Tanque, Xichú, Guanajuato, México, Javier era hijo de María Velázquez y Constantino Benavides. Le precedieron en la muerte sus padres, quienes le inculcaron los valores del amor y la resiliencia.
A Javier le sobreviven su esposa, Eduviges Martínez Escobedo; cuatro hijos: Constantino Emmanuel Benavidez Martínez, Rosa María Benavides Martínez, de Matamoros, Tamaulipas; Francisco Javier Benavidez Martínez; y Erika Lucero Arellano Martínez. Será profundamente extrañado por sus tres nietos -Adán Hernández Arellano, Dara Jasaai Hernández Arellano y Catalina Hernández Arellano-, así como por numerosos familiares y amigos que valoraban su presencia.
Los servicios funerarios se llevarán a cabo en Matamoros, Tamaulipas, México, donde familiares y amigos se reunirán para honrar su memoria y celebrar su vida. El espíritu de Javier perdurará en los corazones de todos aquellos que lo conocieron.
