On September 2, 2024, Liam Daniel Benavides, went home to be with our Lord and Savior. Our hearts are broken, but we find comfort in knowing that Liam is rejoicing in heaven. 

Liam was truly special. His joy was felt by anyone he encountered. Liam’s faith was the foundation of his life. It was his greatest joy to worship in church and to hear the Word of God be proclaimed. Liam was the type of young man who, despite his youth, lived with wisdom and kindness far beyond his years. He was a loving son, a protective older brother, and a devoted grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend.  

Liam’s dedication, positivity, and contagious smile were impossible to ignore. He made a lasting impact at Tuloso-Midway ISD, his home church, New Life at the Cross, and his community.  In July 2024, Liam attended the Master’s Camp in Leakey, Texas, where he was profoundly impacted and called to ministry. When he returned, he was completely transformed, and on a mission to share the love of Jesus Christ with anyone and everyone that would listen. He became known for carrying his Bible to school every day, asking classmates how their day was, and then reading scripture to them. He was unapologetic in his Faith. He lived by the quote, “I’m just a nobody trying to tell everybody about somebody who can save anybody.”  

His dream was for all of his family and friends to know the one true God, whom he is now in the presence of.  Donations may be made to The Live Like Liam fund, which will help send students to the summer camp where Liam’s life was forever changed.  #LiveLikeLiam
