Fernando Benitez Espinosa, who passed away on October 16th, 2024, was a deeply loved and respected member of the Bakersfield community. Born on February 10th, 1940, in Michoacán, Mexico, Fernando was 84 years old at the time of his passing. His life came to an unexpected and tragic end when he was struck by a vehicle near Union Cemetery in Bakersfield, where he was declared deceased at the scene.
Fernando Benitez Espinosa was known for his unwavering work ethic, kindness, and a heart that touched all those around him. He immigrated to the United States at a young age, determined to provide a better life for his family.

His dedication never wavered, even in his later years, as he continued to be active and independent.
