Richard Benavides Jr. went home to meet the Lord August 14, 2024. He was born to Richard and Gloria (Gomez) Benavides in Dallas, Texas where he lived most of his life. He honorably served his country as an enlisted soldier and had many fond memories he would enthusiastically share. He went on to a career at the United States Post Office where he dedicated over forty years of work.
Richard is preceded in death by his father Richard Benavides, mother Gloria Caudillo, and brother Miguel Benavides. He is survived by his three children Leticia Wilson and her spouse Rick, Richard Benavides III and his spouse Andrea Davies, Anthony Benavides and his partner Scarleth Londoño; his grandson Grey Wilson with a second grandson on the way whom he spoke lovingly of meeting; his siblings Margaret Davis and her spouse Claude, Raphael Benavides and his spouse Mary Ann, Amy Trager, and Martin Caudillo and his spouse Renae.
Richard always had jokes and smiles ready for those in his life. His sweet tooth was notorious and he loved to share a sugary confection with his loved ones. Richard had a deep love for the Lord and all his creatures which fostered a soft spot for animals in need. He will be greatly missed.
A memorial service for Richard will be held Friday, August 23, 2024 at 2:00 PM at Calvary Hill Funeral Home & Cemetery, 3235 Lombardy Ln, Dallas, Texas 75220.
