Bennett Schaffer Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Larrison Mortuary - Pratt on Jan. 22, 2026.
Bennett Andrew Schaffer was born sleeping on Monday, January 19, 2026 at 8:27 p.m. at Wesley Medical Center in Wichita.
While we grieve the loss of Bennett every moment of every day, the deepest ache is for his siblings, who lost their baby brother before they ever truly got the chance to know him. They lost the future they were already dreaming of, the sibling they were excited to love, the little brother they were waiting for with such open hearts.
He was loved every second of his life and will always be part of his family. We will have a hole in our hearts for the rest of our lives. Until we meet again, sweet, sweet boy.
He is survived by his parents, Joey and Melissa (Burnett) Schaffer; siblings, Mason, Callie and Colton Schaffer; and grandmother, Brenda Burnett.
Bennett is preceded in death by his great-grandmother, Carole Mae Schaffer; grandfather, Forrest Burnett; and great-grandparents, Donald and Phyllis Burnett.
Graveside service will be held at 3:00 p.m., Thursday, January 22, 2026 at Greenlawn Cemetery, Pratt with John Hamm presiding.
Memorials may be made to AgapeCare Cradle.
