Daniel Richard Benavides

Unfortunately, I never knew Daniel personally. But I do remember seeing him in between classes at Skyline. He was always a pleasant person. I was very sad to hear of his passing. Thank God for the lives Daniel touched during his time here on earth. My prayers go out to his family and friends.
K. Jones-grad. Skyline H.S 1984.

I am extremely sorry to hear of the loss of Daniel. I was a classmate of Daniel's at Skyline High School (class of 84). I keep in touch with Kimberly Jones as just received an email regarding the passing of Daniel. I did not have the opportunity to attend the reunion in July but enjoyed having Sociology class with Daniel in Ms. Creel's class. What a great loss to all that had an opportunity to cross paths with Daniel and my deepest sympathy goes out to his family and friends and the Class of 84.

My condolences to the Benavides family.
I attended college with Daniel and befriended him during my first week as a freshman at UT. We lived on the same hall in Jester Center. I will never forget my first Spring Break vacation. Daniel knocked on our door and invited my roomate and I to go to Pecan Plantation in Granbury, TX with his high school buddy, Willie Goolsby, an Aggie. Sounds great, where do I sign up? Well, I'll tell you, that was the best spring break I ever had, just the...

To Dan's family;
Dan and our son, Ron, were at Rugel Elementary School in Mesquite at the same time. Cindy may have been there also.Dan's class assisted Ron's special education class, and Ron loved that.Dan was a wonderful young man and grew into a fine adult. Ron passed away in March just a short time before Dan. We will miss both of these young men, but we know they are reunited after all of those years. The Coalson family shares your grief.

I extend my deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Dan. While his death may have been tragic, I believe Dan's life was not. I remember Dan during our law school days ... he always went about life with a small on his face. It was one of those wide smiles that would always brighten people's world. Dan will be missed.

"For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labour for me; and I do not know which to choose. But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better." (Phillipians 1:21-23).
I grieve with you in the passing of a son, a brother, an uncle, or a dear friend as Dan was to me. I saw Dan on Wednesday evening, and we had our usual warm and cordial exchange of...

Daniel was a special friend to our family. He assisted me through my D.W.I., He stepped away from the prosecution of my case due to the fact that we knew one another.
Due to my diliegent pursuit of the requirments set forth to me under the Court decisions of my punishment phase, in which I fully satisfied in a less time frame than set forth before me by the court of law, Daniel went before the court and requested an early Probation release, in which was granted! God Bless Him on my...

My prayers and heart go out to Daniel's family.

He and my cousin came to Indiana for the 500 Race in 2002. I had the pleasure of knowing him for a short time. He was very Special.

My sincere condolences to Daniel's family and many friends.

Sincerely,

I knew Daniel from Skyline High School, he was always a pleasant young man to be around. It is with great sadness that I learned he is no longer with us. My prayers go out to his family. I will miss Daniel.
