The late Terrence Benefield was a beloved member of the Queens Village community and a dedicated worker at the Queens Village Depot. His sudden passing has left his family, friends, and coworkers in deep mourning. Terrence tragically suffered a massive stroke while on duty, pulling into the fuel station, and passed away as a result.
To support his family during this difficult time, Harry Fred Rivera has organized a GoFundMe campaign. The fundraiser, titled "Support for Terrence Benefield’s Family," has set a goal of $15,000 to help cover funeral expenses and provide financial assistance to his loved ones. As of now, $100 has been raised by Francisco Ortiz, who contributed just 22 minutes ago.
Terrence was known for his kindness, laughter, and charisma, which made a lasting impression on his coworkers and everyone he met. The community remembers him fondly and is rallying to support his family. The viewing and service for Terrence will be held at Christ Pentecostal Temple, located at 109-45 157th Street, Queens, NY 11433. The viewing is scheduled for 3:00 pm, followed by the service at 5:00 pm.
