Benjamin Rosales Jr. Benjamin Manuel Rosales, Jr., known as “Junior,” was born Oct. 23, 1998, in Show Low to Benjamin and Martha Rosales. He was taken from us, unexpectedly, April 11, 2021. The Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Monday, April 19, at the Our Lady of the Snow Catholic Church, in Snowflake, with the interment at the Reed Hatch Memorial Cemetery in Taylor. Ben grew up in Snowflake. He attended Snowflake schools and graduated from Snowflake High School in 2017. He then went to work for Arizona Motors in Snowflake. He continued his education by attending training courses through his job. His greatest love, born on Dec. 24, 2019, was his daughter Kailani Mae Rosales, or as he lovingly called her, “Willis.” He was the most loving and caring father. He adored his baby girl. Everyone that met him became his friend. He was the best uncle and nino to his two nieces, Aaliyah and Aleyna. He was incredibly smart, intelligent and motivated. He accomplished every goal he set his mind to. Most of all he touched the lives of everyone he met. He will be loved, missed and remembered by many, but most of all by his family who will never be whole again until we see him again. Ben is survived by loving parents, Benjamin Rosales and Martha Rosales; siblings, Adrianna (Eduardo Lujan), Anjelica Rosales (Sergio Rodriguez); daughter, Kailani Mae Rosales; nieces, Aaliyah Lujan and Aleyna Lujan; many cousins, uncles, aunts; grandparents, Raul and Trinidad Anchondo and grandmother, Guadalupe Rosales Garcia. He was preceded in death by his grandpa, Benjamin Rosales Chavez and his nino, Juan Antonio Ventura. Owens Livingston Mortuary of Snowflake handled the arrangements.
