Emiliano Alfado Benitez

Emiliano Alfado Benitez, born on August 27, 2025, in Omaha, touched our lives for the briefest of moments. With a joyful spirit that seemed too vast for his small frame, he illuminated the hearts of his family and friends during his time with us.

His journey on this earth was short, spanning only two precious days, marked by love and hope. Emiliano passed away on August 29, 2025, at the Children’s Hospital and Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska. While his time was fleeting, the impact he had in such a short period will never be forgotten.

In those two days, Emiliano became an embodiment of pure innocence, a reminder of the delicate beauty of life. His presence brought together family and friends, uniting them in shared love and dreams for the future. While we mourn the moments we will never share, we also celebrate the brief yet profound joy he brought into our lives.

Those left to cherish his memory are his parents, Alivia Robbins and Nolan Benitez; grandparents, Rebecca (Juan) Morales of Grand Island; Elmer Benitez of El Salvador, and David Salinas of Grand Island; great-grandparents, Cheri (John) Robbins of Callaway, and aunts, Davina Salinas and JoAna Salinas.

Emiliano was preceded in death by his grandmother, Kathleen Salinas.
