Obituary For Benjamin âBenjieâ Rivera
Benjamin Valdez Rivera (Benjie) was granted his angel wings on January 2021. He was born in Baguio City, Philippines and graduated with an Electrical Communications Engineering degree from Saint Louis University (Philippines). Benjie is survived by his mother, Norlita (Erma) Rivera; brothers, Joseph and Romeo Jr; sisters Joie and Romalyn; many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends who all adored him. He was preceded in death by his father, Romeo Rivera Sr., and baby sister, Maria. With his true grit, determination and a college degree in his back pocket, he headed to Singapore and eventually landed in the States a few years later to pursue his dreams. Benjie's career as a Field Service Engineer allowed him to travel the world many times over. He was an avid golfer, skier, and member of a Dart Club in Fremont, CA. Benjie was a son, brother, nephew, cousin, and most of all a true friend to those whose lives he touched. His "kid at heart" attitude was always ready and willing to help anyone at a moment's notice...the kind and thoughtful person who would take the shirt off his back and offer it to anyone in need. He leaves a void in many hearts, but his spirit lives on within his family and friends. We will miss his laughter and silly jokes. We will miss his laid back presence. Rest in peace Tito Benjie.
