Benito Manuel Bustamante, Jr., 42, of Fort Collins, Colorado was welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven on June 28, 2017.

Benito “Meme” was born in Bakersfield, CA on April 28, 1975 to Benito Manuel & Martha (Leon) Bustamante Sr. Benito was married to Melody Bustamante (Luna) on July 12, 2009. They were together for 18 years.

Benito was an amazing man with a larger than life personality. His laugh and sense of humor would light up any room. He was loved by so many and was a rock to his friends and family. His faith in God was undeniable and he had a calming peace about him. Anyone could look into Benito’s eyes and see the love he had, but also the pain that he felt. He fought hard to be a good man and in his life accomplished just that. He enjoyed grilling and baking for his family, music, poker, and expanding his knowledge.
Benito is survived by his wife Melody, his five children, Benito Jr., Natalie, Paris, Mia, and Christian Bustamante, his aunt, Teresa Miranda, his siblings, Vanessa, Monica, Rene, Sherina, and Serina Leon, Ana, Frankie, David, Robert, and his father, Benito Manuel Bustamante, Sr.

Benito is preceded in death by his mother, Martha Leon, grandmother, Agripina Miranda, his brother, Robert Bustamante, and his father-in-law, Joe Luna.
