It’s barely been three weeks, but the family of Benito Quesada say they’re ready to share their grief. Normally a very quiet and private family, the Quesadas, wanted to talk about what happened to their father and husband.
The 51-year-old died May 7 in hospital. For three weeks, the longtime Cargill meant plant employee fought for his life after testing positive for COVID-19.
His eldest daughter, 16-year-old Ariana Quesada, said it was hard to watch him suffer. “He’s always strong and the one that protects us.
Seeing him there, vulnerable, I had never seen him like that,” Ariana said. “Those are the final memories I have of him. That’s definitely not how we want to remember him.
