Debbie and I share in the loss of Benny.  I will never forget the first introduction to this maverick individual by my best friend Pablo back in the day.   What I recall most about this great individual was his resilience, his bouncing back always, his smile no matter how difficult the circumstance he was confronted with.  

Benny was special and never gave up loving those who were good to him and forgiving those that did not understand him and his independent ways.   He was a lover of life.  He loved to stretch boundaries.......in the end, he kept doing that by showing his unbelievable love and kindness to his brothers and sisters and all of their families. 

Debbie and I will have the Salcido family in our prayers during this time of sadness.  Hector and Debbie Gutierrez

Gee what can I say: I got to him, more like a brother both at Tech & EPHS.
He was my friend and when I needed him for 😥 sad/good times. 😃 he was there for me.

My prayers for the family.   Always SALLY.

My Sincere Condolences to Benny Salcido's Family,  
I'm a fellow EPHS '70 classmate, Track Captain Teammate, and friend.   Looking back to the high school days with Benny, track days come to mind.  He ran the  440, 880, and anchored the mile relay.  The serious look he had in the classroom was the same on the track field.  He was a joyful person to be with.  He was involved in ROTC ( wore the uniform proudly), EPHS Band, and Track.  
His presence will be forever in your family hearts.  You will be sharing his spirit with others.  Keep his spirit alive among you & enjoy the smiles, the laughter, & the tears.
I, as his friend, I will.
Regards,
Raul Gonzalez

Hey, Benny, may you rest in peace. You were a talented passionate musician and had a great sense of humor. You brought laughter to our lives.  I got to see you in recent years. I am lucky for that. Thank you, Ben.

To Grace and the Salcido family, my deepest condolences.

So sorry for your loss.  Benny was so great and full of life. He reminds me of the times that are implanted in my heart. Memories of young bones - no creaks, high voices - no squeaks, loud laughter - no snorts, and enjoyment of our loved ones - no regrets - never regrets. Your loss is great but Benny's life would have been so sad without you. May God Give you strength and His Love help you through this time. Luci 

I will miss Benny , my friend. I enjoyed seeing his smile every time I saw him.  Even the last time  we spoke on the phone he was attempting to be cheerful.  Once he didn’t answer I knew he was too sick.  He’s now resting from the dreadful cough he suffered.  In my mind I picture him standing before the Lord and singing praises to Him as he directs his own orchestra.  My condolences to the family.  He was very aware of the wonderful care you gave him-loved his home.

Benny was such a sweet person.  I remember as a kid how much he loved to sing.  He had a great sense of humor.  Always a fun uncle.  He will be missed! 

Today during our worship devotional I lit up a candle in memory of  dear Benny and we lifted a prayer of thanksgiving for his life and the privilege of having known him and sharing our love of music. Benny was a talented musician  and a  joy to be around. I am very saddened by his departure and Conrado and i will miss him.  We send our condolences to his family,  and pray God's love and peace will embrace them and give them peace.




Salcido Familia,

Debbie and I are saddened to hear the news of Benny's passing, and we will have all of you in our thoughts and prayers during this time of grief and sadness.

I will always remember the first time I met the smiling Benny at the late and best friend Pablo Salcido's parents home many, many years ago.  I could hear him singing in the back of the house.

Through Pablo and Cheryl, I met most of the Salcido familia, and what a joy it has been for us.  A TRUE LOVING FAMILY!  May that love and kinship sustain you and continue to bless you always.  

Abrazos y Paz

Our deepest condolences to the Salcido family.  Until we meet again in paradise Benny rest easy Marine.  Oorrah!

May God comfort  and surround each of you  with His healing love  and calming peace during this difficult time. I will miss Benny's kind spirit, and his desire to sing his praises unto the Lord.

I always enjoyed singing in harmony with you, besides our many conversations. I will miss you my friend. 

I always  enjoyed speaking to him,he was so kind to me! I'm will miss him!
