Benjamin Juarez Obituary
Obituary published on Legacy.com by San Jacinto Funeral Home & Cremation Services & Cemetery on Feb. 7, 2026.
Con profundo amor y tristeza, la familia de Benjamin Juarez, de 70 años, de Houston, Texas, anuncia su fallecimiento el 4 de febrero de 2026. Nacido el 13 de marzo de 1955 en Santiago Maravatío, México, Benjamin fue el amado hijo de Primitivo Juarez y Esperanza Hurtado de Juarez, cuyos valores de trabajo duro, humildad y devoción moldearon al hombre en que se convirtió.
La vida de Benjamin estuvo bellamente definida por el amor-especialmente el amor que compartió con Maria Letisia Lopez, con quien se casó el 26 de diciembre de 1981 en Houston. Su matrimonio fue una verdadera alianza, llena de risas, apoyo inquebrantable y un vínculo que solo se fortaleció con el tiempo. Juntos construyeron un hogar donde la familia se reunía, las tradiciones florecían y la alegría siempre estaba presente.
Durante más de 40 años, Benjamin dedicó su vida al servicio de banquetes en The Westin, donde su ética de trabajo, amabilidad y confiabilidad dejaron una impresión duradera en colegas y huéspedes por igual. Fuera del trabajo, Benjamin encontraba felicidad en los placeres sencillos que enriquecen la vida. Le encantaba cuidar su jardín, organizar parrilladas familiares y apoyar a sus equipos favoritos de béisbol y fútbol. Sus tardes solían transcurrir viendo novelas y películas del oeste acompañado de su esposa. Tenía un espíritu aventurero y atesoraba viajar por el mundo, creando recuerdos que su familia guardará por siempre.
Benjamin deja un legado de amor, fortaleza y bondad. Le sobreviven su amada esposa, Maria Letisia Juarez; sus hijas, Esperansa Herrera y Lizzette Juarez; su hijo, Benjamin Juarez Jr.; y sus hermanos, Trinidad Juarez, Guadalupe Gonzalez, Angela Juarez y Olga Juarez. Fue un orgulloso y cariñoso abuelo de Alayjah Juarez, Abraham Herrera, Janessa Herrera y Jasmine Herrera, quienes llenaron su vida de inmensa alegría.
Le preceden en muerte sus padres, Primitivo Juarez y Esperanza Hurtado de Juarez, cuya memoria llevó consigo siempre.
El corazón noble de Benjamin, su espíritu generoso y su amor inquebrantable por su familia permanecerán para siempre en los corazones de quienes lo conocieron. Su risa, sus historias y su presencia en cada reunión familiar son los regalos que deja atrás. Será profundamente extrañado y amorosamente recordado cada día.
Que descanse en paz eterna.
With profound love and deep sorrow, the family of Benjamin Juarez, 70, of Houston, Texas, announces his passing on February 4, 2026. Born on March 13, 1955, in Santiago Maravatío, Mexico, Benjamin was the cherished son of Primitivo Juarez and Esperanza Hurtado de Juarez, whose values of hard work, humility, and devotion shaped the man he became.
Benjamin's life was beautifully defined by love-especially the love he shared with Maria Letisia Lopez, whom he married on December 26, 1981, in Houston. Their marriage was a true partnership, filled with laughter, unwavering support, and a bond that only grew stronger with time. Together, they built a home where family gathered, traditions thrived, and joy was always close at hand.
For more than 40 years, Benjamin dedicated himself to banquet service at The Westin, where his strong work ethic, kindness, and reliability left a lasting impression on colleagues and guests alike. Outside of work, Benjamin found joy in the simple pleasures that made life rich. He loved tending to his garden, hosting family BBQs, and cheering on his favorite baseball and soccer teams. Evenings were often spent watching novelas and western movies with his wife by his side. He had an adventurous spirit and cherished traveling the world, creating memories that his family will hold close forever.
Benjamin leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and kindness. He is survived by his devoted wife, Maria Letisia Juarez; his daughters, Esperansa Herrera and Lizzette Juarez ; his son, Benjamin Juarez Jr.; and his siblings, Trinidad Juarez, Guadalupe Gonzalez, Angela Juarez and Olga Juarez . He was a proud and loving grandfather to Alayjah Juarez, Abraham Herrera, Janessa Herrera, and Jasmine Herrera, each of whom brought him immense joy.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Primitivo Juarez and Esperanza Hurtado de Juarez, whose memory he carried with him always.
Benjamin's gentle heart, generous spirit, and unwavering love for his family will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew him. His laughter, his stories, his presence at every gathering-these are the gifts he leaves behind. He will be deeply, profoundly missed, and lovingly remembered every day.
May he rest in eternal peace.
