Osvaldo "Benny" Martin Esquivias, a machine technician and a lifelong resident of Inglewood, California, unexpectedly passed on December 5, 2020 at the age of 43.
Osvaldo is survived by his wife Rocio Diaz-Martin, his children Santiago and Ximena Martin, his parents Elpidio and Maria Martin, grandfather Matias Martin, grandparents Brijido Esquivias and Feliza Aguirre, and siblings Sonia, Yadira, Brandon.
Osvaldo was born on July 13, 1977 in Santa Monica, California. Osvaldo was raised in Inglewood where he lived for most of his life. Even when he moved out to his own place, he was never father than 15 miles from it's city limits. While growing up on "The Dime Block", Osvaldo was known to be dependable, honest, and able to not only blend into every social group, but bring all groups together. His allegiances to the Dodgers, Red Sox, Lakers, Chivas, and S.F.49ers made others around him fans for life.
Osvaldo's life goal was to learn how to succeed in life with the least amount of needless academics. Through high school he excelled in sports and took a liking to machinery's inner workings. He took his curiosity to ITT Technical institute and walked out with an Electronic Engineering Technology Degree on September 17, 1997. He took a job that helped him gain experience; and in 2005 he started up his own company South Bay Inkjet, with nothing more than his tools and his passion to succeed.
Osvaldo married Rocio on March 28, 2009 and together blessed our lives with two loving children. His dedication to his family was shown through the numerous teams that he helped coach throughout children's sports endeavors, as well as the time dedicated to each.
Throughout his life Osvaldo was the silent conqueror. Seldom would you hear him, but when the family was needing help, magically he was there. When others were looking around to see who was going to take an elder to an appointment because they "took them last time", Osvaldo had already reached out to said elder and agreed on pick up, drop off, and where to get lunch. While others were contemplating how they were going to make time and attend the many weekly family gatherings, Osvaldo was already taking names for anyone who wanted to jump in his Negra Tomasa. He always drove, and you knew that as long as he had the wheel you would be safe.
Come take one last socially distant drive with Osvaldo on Sunday December 13, 2020 from 12:00pm – 4:00pm at McCormick & Son. The address is 25002 Moulton Parkway, Laguna Hills, CA 92637.
