Benito Trevizo, born Mar.21,1918 in Chihuahua, Mexico to a family of 8 children. Benito passed away on Jan. 11, 2011 at home in Gilbert, AZ. Benito was preceded in death by his beloved spouse, Martina, daughter, Sally, parents Paula & Ramon & sister Consuelo & brother Chon.

Benito, know to all as a hard-working man, worked in various occupations from sheepherder to the copper mines in Superior, Arizona until he retired at age 62. He continued working part time until age of 85 in the construction field. His work ethics helped keep him strong to the end. His favorite pastimes included dancing, playing his accordion, and listening to the Diamondbacks on his headset. Who could forget the unusual nicknames he granted to those chosen few. Benito and Martina left us the “Trevizo legacy” of a trust in God’s plan and to always remember to keep strong our love for each other. Their memories will live forever in the hearts of “la familia” and the friends and neighbors they touched.Visitation Sunday, Jan.16,2011, 6-8 pm with the Rosary at 7:00pm at Melcher Chapel of the Roses,43 S.
