Obituary

Known lovingly as Papi 'Sendo to his family, Rosendo was born on November 18, 1939, in Cuernavaca, Morelos, and was called to his eternal home on September 12, 2025, surrounded by his children and grandchildren.

Rosendo was a righteous, noble, and charismatic man of great honor. At just 10 years old, he experienced the heartbreaking loss of his father, who was tragically taken from him. That pain remained with him for 75 years, shaping the strength, resilience, and character that defined his life.

He was so much more than a father or grandfather-he was the very foundation of his family. As an immigrant, he came to this country with nothing but hope and determination, working tirelessly to create a better life for his loved ones. His sacrifices, strength, and unwavering love continue to live on in the lives of his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild.

Rosendo was a God-fearing man who instilled his faith and values into his family. He taught the importance of hard work, the beauty of humility and kindness, and the unshakable bond of family. His laughter, his stories, and the way he carried himself will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew him.

Though our hearts are broken, we find peace in knowing he is free from the long, cruel struggle with dementia he endured for nine years. He is now reunited with his parents and siblings in eternal rest.

Rosendo's legacy will continue through every generation that follows. We will honor him by living with the same courage, faith, and love he showed us each day of his life.

He is survived by his loving wife, Maria Irene, and his children: Reynel, Marisela, Lorenia, Alberto, Juan Carlos, Maria de Lourdes, and Salvador. He also leaves behind his beloved sons- and daughters-in-law: Oscar, Roberto, Elizabeth, and Carlos. His cherished grandchildren include Blanca, Rubi, Brian, Vanessa, Julia, Kenneth, Carlos, and Marianna, as well as his great-grandchild, Jose Angel IV.

He was preceded in death by his father Telésforo Bahena, his mother Hermelinda Martínez, his sisters Carmen and Felipa, and his brothers Cirilo and Juan Rosendo Bahena

Conocido cariñosamente por su familia como Papi 'Sendo, Rosendo nació el 18 de noviembre de 1939 en Cuernavaca, Morelos, y fue llamado a su hogar eterno el 12 de septiembre de 2025, rodeado de sus hijos y nietos.

Rosendo fue un hombre justo, noble y carismático, de gran honor. A la temprana edad de 10 años sufrió la desgarradora pérdida de su padre, quien le fue arrebatado trágicamente. Ese dolor lo acompañó por 75 años, moldeando la fortaleza, la resiliencia y el carácter que definieron su vida.

Fue mucho más que un padre o abuelo: fue el pilar de su familia. Como inmigrante, llegó a este país con nada más que esperanza y determinación, trabajando incansablemente para crear una vida mejor para sus seres queridos. Sus sacrificios, su fortaleza y su amor inquebrantable continúan vivos en la vida de sus hijos, nietos y bisnieto.

Rosendo fue un hombre temeroso de Dios que inculcó su fe y valores en su familia. Enseñó la importancia del trabajo arduo, la belleza de la humildad y la bondad, y el lazo inquebrantable de la familia. Su risa, sus historias y la manera en que se conducía permanecerán por siempre en los corazones de quienes lo conocieron.

Aunque nuestros corazones están rotos, encontramos paz al saber que está libre de la larga y cruel lucha contra la demencia que soportó durante nueve años. Ahora está reunido con sus padres y hermanos en el descanso eterno.

El legado de Rosendo continuará en cada generación que le siga. Lo honraremos viviendo con el mismo valor, fe y amor que él nos mostró cada día de su vida.

Le sobreviven su amada esposa, María Irene, y sus hijos: Reynel, Marisela, Lorenia, Alberto, Juan Carlos, María de Lourdes y Salvador. También deja a sus queridos yernos e hijas políticas: Óscar, Roberto, Elizabeth y Carlos. Sus nietos amados incluyen a Blanca, Rubi, Brian, Vanessa, Julia, Kenneth, Carlos y Marianna, así como su bisnieto, José Ángel IV.

Le precedieron en la muerte su padre Telésforo Bahena, su madre Hermelinda Martínez, sus hermanas Carmen y Felipa, y sus hermanos Cirilio y Juan.

Pallbearers: Portadores del féretro; Reynel Bahena, Juan Carlos Bahena, Alberto Bahena, Carlos Perez, Brian Solano, Jose Ramirez.
