Publish in a newspaper

Bennie James Morales Sr., of Victoria, Texas, entered eternal rest on September 18, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family.

Born in Victoria, Bennie was a loving husband, father, son, brother, and above all, a proud Popo. He shared his life with his wife, Ysenia Morales. Together they raised their children: Bonnie Resendiz and husband Juan, Bennie James Morales Jr., Estevan Morales and wife Destiny White, Denise Morales, and Errika Morales and husband Cody Pflaum.

He is also lovingly remembered by his mother, Ofelia Morales; his brother, Joe Morales; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and extended family. Bennie's greatest joy was being "Popo" to his 16 grandchildren, who were the true light of his life. Bennie is preceded in death by his father, Joe G. Morales.

A lifelong fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, Bennie cheered for his team with passion and loyalty. He will be remembered for his love for his family, his laughter, and the way he always put his loved ones first.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, September 25, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., with a Rosary to be prayed at 6:30 p.m. at Grace Funeral Home. A Mass of Catholic Burial will be celebrated on Friday, September 26, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church, Victoria, Texas.

Bennie will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but his love and legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of his family and friends.

Fly Eagles Fly - forever in hearts.

In Loving Memory of Bennie James Morales Sr.

Tonight, as we gather in prayer for the Rosary, we remember and honor a man who meant so much to so many - Bennie James Morales Sr.

To me, he wasn´t just my brother-in-law. He was family in every true sense of the word - a man of heart, strength, quiet wisdom, and deep devotion.
Bennie loved fiercely. He loved his beautiful wife - my sister Ysenia- with a steady, unwavering love. And together, they built a life rooted in faith, hard work, and the kind of love that holds a family together through anything.

He was a proud and dedicated father to their five amazing children. Bennie didn´t just raise kids - he raised strong, kind, resilient human beings, each of whom carries a part of his spirit with them. You could see his joy when he spoke about them, see his pride in their accomplishments, and feel his love in the way he showed up for them every single day.

Bennie had a quiet strength - he didn´t need to be loud to make an impact. His presence spoke volumes. His actions said everything. Whether it was helping someone in need, being a steady hand for his family, or simply showing up with love and loyalty, Bennie lived his life with purpose.

To my sister and her children: I know your hearts are broken. But I want you to know - you are not alone. We are here, we will always be here, and Bennie´s love will always surround you. In your memories, in your traditions, in your laughter and even your tears - he lives on.

Bennie, thank you for everything you were. A husband. A father. A brother. A friend.
You left this world too soon, but your love, your legacy, and your example will never fade.

We love you. We miss you.
May you rest in eternal peace, wrapped in the arms of our Lord.
