Yuri Benjamin Carbajal-Reyes

Yuri Benjamin Carbajal Reyes, age 44, of Houston, Texas passed away suddenly on Tuesday, August 11, 2020. He was born on May 10, 1976 in Mexico City, Mexico, the son of Ana Reyes and Francisco Carbajal.

After immigrating to the USA in his early teenage years, he graduated from Lamar High School and almost completed his undergraduate pre-requisites at HCC (Houston Community College).

In 1996, Yuri and his mother traveled to India as his high school graduation gift. This was the greatest gift. It allowed him the opportunity to learn more about mediation and his master OSHO. This trip changed Yuri’s life forever as he learned so much from Hinduism and learned to appreciate different cultures at an early age. Until his death, he kept in touch with many of his friends that reside in different parts of the United States who are involved in the meditation world.

Besides spending time with his family and friends Yuri was very talented and had a passion for traveling, exploring new cities, listening to music, learning new cultures and languages, exploring new cuisines, going to the beach, watching movies, reading books, fixing computers, loved the automobile industry, watch NASCAR races, enjoyed fixing cars with his best friend on the weekends, enjoyed talking on the phone and texting with his close friends, enjoyed remodeling homes and mainly caring for his Labrador ”King”.

In 2018, Yuri married Jacqueline Tamashiro, his partner in life for the past 12 years. They were happy married until his untimely passing.

Yuri is survived by his devoted wife Jackie Tamashiro; mother Ana Reyes; stepfather Anthony Sharkey; father and mother-in-law Julio and Mary Tamashiro; sister-in-law Krystell Tamashiro; niece Adreana Roberston and many more dear relatives and friends.

Yuri was a giver, energetic and very loving person and was known for his ability to sense when people needed his help. He touched many lives with his generosity and passion to help others. He enjoyed living life to the fullest. He will be dearly missed by his wife, mother, stepfather, family members, dear friends and his dog King, whom he loved dearly.

Due to COVID restrictions, services held will be private for the family only.

“A beautiful soul that left the earth too soon.”

Rest in peace my dear husband Yuri!
