Read MoreI am almost sure that Benny didn't even know my name but he never failed to greet our family without giving us a big hug and a loud "Jesus Loves You". We will miss his beautiful smile and his warm heart. What a wonderful blessing it was to know him.

Benny was the closest thing I had to a father growing up. He was a great man and I miss him dearly. He would always tell me "Jesus loves you and so do I". I love you Benny!

What a great exmple Mr. Bakane set for those who knew and followed him.

Benny was one of the most inspiring Christian men that I have been blessed by God to have known. I never came face-to-face with Benny that he did not hug me and say "Jesus Loves You." Benny is now enjoying his eternal reward, living in the presence of our Lord and Savior. God bless you Benny, and please pray for us all. Your gain leaves a huge void in this world. Thank you for your example and love.
