Chase Bennett Obituary

SAN ANGELO Chase Gordon Bennett, 28, of San Antonio, formerly of San Angelo, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, May 20, 2014, in San Antonio. Funeral service is at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 24, 2014, at the Christian Church of San Angelo with Revs. Bob Beaver and Mills Caraway officiating. Interment will follow in Lawnhaven Memorial Gardens. Chase was born July 30, 1985, grew up in San Angelo and graduated from Central High School in 2004. He then went on to attend and graduate from Texas Tech University where he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Construction Engineering Technology in 2009. Chase was working for Zachry Construction in San Antonio, Texas, at the time of his death. In his spare time he loved being outdoors hunting, fishing, camping, boating and playing golf. Most of all, he loved spending time with his family and friends. Chase was a loving son, brother and friend to all and he created many memories with all of us and those memories will live on in our hearts forever. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Dean and Yvonne Bennett and Jo and Marjorie Hardgrave. Chase is survived by his parents, Gordon and Carol Bennett, of San Angelo; brother Jared Bennett of Midland; aunts and uncles Cecilia and Bobby Allen, Betty Nelms, Mary Lynn and Mickey Nelms, Ann and Manuel San Miguel, Donna and Jim Behringer and Karl and Carla Bennett, all of San Angelo and Gary and Kathy Hardgrave and Sam and Vickie Murr, all of Sonora; and numerous cousins, many close friends and his special dog "Sadie," who were all dear to his heart. Pallbearers for the service will be Hunter Montgomery, Jonathan Cotten, Ryan Barnes, Beau Theimer, Tyler Hargrave, Wesley Klepac, Kyle Moore and Carter Grooms. The family requests that donations be made to West Texas Boys Ranch, Meals for the Elderly, United Way or any organization of your choice. Family and friends may sign an online register book at johnsons-funeralhome.com. Forever peace be with you, Chase.

Dearest Carol,
The service was beautiful. What an amazing family and what a loving and strong mother you have been. My best memories are of Chase and little league baseball…You know the one. It makes me smile. And Jared's tribute today showed the strength and tenderness that only the finest of men could offer. I will be seeing you in the coming weeks. Much love from all of the Lubkes to the dear Bennetts.

While short, his life touched so many. He created memories that will last forever and the ones he touched are better for knowing him. I only met him a couple of times and both times he was full of energy and smiling. Carol, Gordon, Jared, family, and friends I am truly sorry for the loss of Chase. While we mourn let us celebrate his life. You can tell he impacted this world in a good way by the messages left here. Today is a day of great sorrow as we remember him as the son, brother, friend, athlete, co-worker, and an all around good guy. My thoughts and prayers.

Dear Bennett Family - Words can not express my deep sympathy for the loss of your sweet Chase. I remember he was so sweet, active, curious, adventurous and full of life - even at a very young age. Once you told me that "Chase" was a fitting name for him. I pray for your comfort and peace.
Love,
