Benito R. Del Rio

On October 30, 2021 at 9:35pm, surrounded by his family, our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend left us to be with his Heavenly Father in Heaven. Benito R Del Rio was born January 4, 1945 to Teodoro and Teresa Del Rio in Phoenix, Arizona. He was the eldest of 5 siblings. He would say he chose not to be the leader because he wanted them all to be equal, but he did in fact lead by example. He graduated from High School in 1963 and chose to attend Bible College. He met his wife, Jane Aguilar, when she was visiting her sister at the Bible College. They were married on December 10, 1966, just before Ben left to report to the Army at the end of December after having been drafted. He loved drawing and was a talented artist, which he used to honorably serve his country for 20 years as a graphic illustrator for the Army. Ben and Jane were able to travel with their four wonderful children while they were in the military. After retiring from the military in 1989, Ben chose to continue his career with the US Postal Service for another 25 years, retiring in June, 2020. He loved to travel with his family and visited nearly every state. He loved his Church community, his neighbors and loved to serve.
He is survived by his wife Jane, children Terah (Justin) Foutz, Ben (Laura) Del Rio, Matt Del Rio, Leon (Karla) Del Rio; 9 grandchildren, Michaela, Celeste, Canyen, Jordyn, Dax, Trevor, Breckyn, Nate and Westin; brothers, Ruben and Ronnie (Norma) and sister, Gloria, and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, sister Margie and son-in-law Michael.
