Bennie proudly served our country in the United States Navy for 3 1/2 years. He was united in marriage to Patricia Ann Brooks on October 8, 1966 in St. Charles, MO. They spent over 59 wonderful years together. This union was blessed with two children, Melanie and Bryan. Bennie loved serving the Lord.

Bennie worked as a Pastor for 20+ years at churches in Wentzville, Willard and Carrollton. He also worked at McDonell Douglas for 24 years. When he had free time, his hobbies included hunting, fishing and enjoying nature. Other than doing God's work, his greatest joy was found in his love and devotion for his family.
