Benito Cazares III

Mr. Benito Cazares III, 54 entered into eternal rest on Tuesday, August 27, 2013 in San Antonio after the short battle with cancer.

Benito attended J.W. Nixon High School where he played football and graduated in 1978. He became a proud and dedicated owner of Diamond Construction for over 28 years. He loved his family and friends. He was an avid outdoorsmen had a passion for the ranch, cooking for his family, and generously gave of himself to others taking to heart the saying "There is no greater love than to lay down your life for your friends." He had a great impact on everyone that he met, whether it was big or small. He had a genuine heart and cared for everyone. He was a generous, kind, and loving son, brother, husband, father, and uncle. We treasure the memories we have of him and will never forget all the things he taught us. We are grateful that he is at peace now. We will truly miss his genuine sense of humor and his big heart.
