Benito DeLeon Obituary

BENITO C. DeLEON

Benito C. DeLeon, 69, of Brownsville, entered into eternal peace on Jan. 7, 2011.

My dad was a jukebox tech, butcher and carpenter, not to mention a most excellent pool player. He was a champion pool player among his friends at Santa Fe Adult Daycare Center.

I love my dad very much and cherished every moment we had. The wonderful memories I've had with my dad are kept forever in my heart. I was a very lucky girl to have a dad like him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Benito Garcia DeLeon and Aurora Tudon DeLeon.

He is survived by his daughter, Gloria DeLeon of Brownsville.

Cremation arrangements were entrusted to Sunset Funeral Home, 31201 State Highway 100, Los Fresnos, TX. Phone (956) 233-6333. www.sunsetfuneralhomergv.com
