David Leon Bennett age 69, transitioned from this earthly life to eternal life on Thursday, May 29, 2025. Complete obituary forthcoming.
"On December 4, 1981, David married the love of his life, Patricia Simpson. Their union was one of deep friendship, laughter, and unwavering support. Together, they built a family grounded in love and strength. He was the proud father of Timika Simpson and LaToya Brown and the beloved "Paw Paw" to his cherished grandchildren Kenneth Brown II affectionately known as "At At Man," and Kensington Brown, lovingly called "Ken Poo." David was preceded in death by his parents Leon and Verdell Bennett, his brother Michael Bennett, and his son-in-law Kenneth Brown. He leaves behind his devoted brothers Mark Bennett and Christopher Bennett, beloved Aunt Helen Gilliam and Aunt Linda Gibson, and a host of in-laws, cousins, extended family, and friends whose lives were all made richer by knowing him."

To the entire Bennett family, my thoughts, prayers and well wishes are with you in the passing of your love one. Knowing David for many years as kids growing up in J. H. Hale housing Projects when people had lots of respect and love for one another back in those days to say the least, he was a couple of years older than I, and I saw lots of accomplishment and focused strengths of achievement in David. The second job that I ever had I was a dish washer at the Flaming Steer Restaurant, where David was a cook in the early seventies he and Michael his older brother. And they always appeared to be a beacon light of encouragement in my eyes. Thank GOD for people like them !!! J. H. Hale Family, P. H. S. c/o 76, #51, Rev. Dr. Marcus D. Ivey.
