Benjamin J. Bennett

Benjamin Joseph Bennett, known by his friends and family as Ben, age 21, a neuroscience student at University of New Hampshire died unexpectedly in a skiing accident at Cannon Mountain on January 18, 2023.
Benjamin was born on March 1, 2001 in Manchester, NH to Norman and Cindy Bennett. His friends and family remember him affectionately as someone who lived his life to the fullest. He is known by all as being someone who was funny, kind, generous, intelligent, and hard working. Ben knew no strangers and made every person feel like they were the most important person in the room. While he was known in school as the "class clown," he was a driven individual with many goals and dreams. He graduated High School with the highest honor of Valedictorian and was extremely proud of his recent semester of college where he made all A's in his courses. He was very proud of his work in the sterile processing unit at Portsmouth Regional Hospital where he was a supervisor and had the opportunity to watch surgeries that inspired him towards his goals of becoming a neurosurgeon. While he was a hard worker who was constantly working towards his dreams, he also made sure to enjoy time with his friends and family. He loved all things outdoors including sunset hikes, kayaking, biking, and skiing. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Benjamin is survived by his parents; Norman and Cindy Bennett; his 12 siblings Stacey Qualls, Julie Davis, Katie Bennett, Norman Richard Bennett Jr (Ricky), Cami Bennett, Peter Bennett, Naomi Bennett, Paul Bennett, Lillianna Bennett, Jeremiah Bennett, Zachariah Bennett, Evan Bennett; his nieces and nephews Charity Qualls, Samantha Qualls, Frederic Qualls, Landon Qualls, Jayden Tinajero; and his grandmother Louise Holdsworth.
