Ricardo Bueno Carrillo

Ricardo Carrillo Bueno of Mexicali, B.C Mexico. Has unfortunately passed away on October 9, 2025. He was 71 at the time of his passing at Montclair Medical center. He leaves behind one son, two daughters and 11 grandkids. He also leaves behind his band mates and long time friends of the rock group Sex Machine, formed out of Mexicali, B.C

Ricardo was the life of the party. Always joking and not having a care in the world of what any one thought of him. Though he was of strong and sometimes harsh character, he loved and cared for many and many loved and cared for him. His unfortunate sudden passing has left a hole in many people’s hearts. He may be gone now, but his legacy lives on forever in the lives of those who knew him. From family, friends, and fellow musicians. Knowing Ricardo, he would have hated to see people sad due to his passing and would jokingly say to instead have a few beers and put on some music.

As a father, he was very loving of his kids. Main memories from his youngest daughter being that he would do any and everything he could in his power to see her laugh or smile. From going out in public with blue eyeshadow and pony tails, to sitting on Santa's lap so she wouldn’t feel scared, and even pulling over in the middle of the highway to dance like Michael Jackson.

He loved kids, and kids loved him because he was always willing to play with them and rough house when they wanted. These are the memories we want people to have of him, not those moments that may be regretted. He will be very much missed and will forever be very much loved.

Ricardo Carrillo Bueno, de Mexicali, B.C., México. Lamentablemente, ha fallecido el 9 de octubre de 2025. Tenía 71 años al momento de su fallecimiento en el Centro Médico de Montclair. Deja un hijo, dos hijas y 11 nietos. También le sobreviven sus compañeros de banda y viejos amigos del grupo de rock Sex Machine, formado en Mexicali, B.C.

Ricardo era el alma de la fiesta. Siempre bromeando y sin importarle lo que pensaran de él. Aunque tenía un carácter fuerte y a veces duro, amaba y cuidaba de muchos, y muchos lo amaban y cuidaban de el. Su lamentable y repentino fallecimiento ha dejado un vacío en el corazón de muchas personas. Puede que ya no esté, pero su legado vivirá para siempre en quienes lo conocieron: familiares, amigos y colegas músicos. Conociendo a Ricardo, no habría querido ver a la gente triste por su fallecimiento y, en broma, diría que mejor se tomaran unas cheves y pusieran BUENA música. Como padre, era muy cariñoso con sus hijos. Los principales recuerdos de su hija menor son que hacía todo lo posible por verla reír o sonreír. Desde salir en público con sombra de ojos azul y chongitos, hasta sentarse en el regazo de Papá Noel para que no se asustara, e incluso detenerse en medio de la carretera para bailar como Michael Jackson. Amaba a los niños, y los niños lo amaban porque siempre estaba dispuesto a jugar con ellos y a hacer ruido cuando querían. Estos son los recuerdos que queremos que la gente tenga de él, no esos momentos de los que pueda arrepentirse. Lo extrañaremos mucho y lo amaremos por siempre.

A visitation will be held from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM, followed by a funeral service for Ricardo will be held Friday, November 7, 2025, from 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM at Stone Funeral Home, 355 East 9th Street, Upland, CA 91786.
