Carlos “Carlitos” Sendejar, 72 years of age, entered into eternal rest on Friday, July 5, 2024 after a short illness. He was born in Benavides, Texas on December 4, 1951 to his parents, Jose Sendejar and Armandina Salinas. Carlitos was a vibrant soul who brought joy to everyone around him. He had a passion for playing Chalupa with his family, indulged in his love for marshmallows and bananas, and never missed a chance to dance. Above all, he was a dedicated fan of his beloved Benavides Eagles. Carlitos knew everyone in our community, and if there was someone he didn’t know, he quickly made them a friend. One of his greatest joys was spending time with numerous cousins he adored. We are at peace knowing he believed in Our Father promise of eternal life.
