Efrain Benavides Galindo

     Efrain Benavides Galindo, 77 of Midland went to be with his Heavenly Father on November 21, 2022.

     Efrain was born in Manuel Benavides, Chihuahua Mexico to the late Petronilo Galindo and Victoria Benavides. He resided in Mexico where he was educated and worked the family agricultural/ranch land before venturing off to the United States settling in Midland TX and working in pipeline construction, agriculture, and landscaping until his retirement in 2007. Efrain was loved by many and although he will be deeply missed, he will continue to live through the many beautiful memories he left behind. He could be described in just a few words as fierce, hard-working, courageous, and quick tempered but also one of the most giving and soft-hearted people you would ever come across. He was a man of great faith and lived life to the fullest. He never gave up regardless of the obstacle or situations he was faced with, he faced them all with great courage and strength. He was a boxing fanatic and loved music.
