Reynaldo Carrizales, Sr., 65, of San Benito… and the cowboy rides away…through the pearly gates and into the kingdom of Heaven. Rey passed away on Monday, January 12, 2015 surrounded by his loving family and friends.
Born in San Benito to Guadalupe Carrizales and Andrea V. Carrizales, living all his life in San Benito, Ray will ride in the grandest eternal trail ride of all. He was a kind, loving, and caring husband, son, brother, father, grandfather, and friend, who had a passion for the outdoors, especially horses and riding. Ray loved trail riding with family and friends, always smiling, laughing, and joking around. He loved to joke around with his older grandsons and enjoyed caring for the younger grandchildren. He will be truly and greatly missed.
