Bennett Sutter Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Stroo Funeral Home, Inc. on Jan. 13, 2026.
Bennett Cord Sutter, born December 31, 2025, passed from his mama's arms into the arms of Jesus on Friday, January 9, 2026. He was loved and covered in prayer by many, both before and during his short but impactful life. Bennett loved when his mama and his dad read to him, sang to him, and held him close. Though his life on earth was brief, Bennett managed to live out the meaning of his name, "Little Blessed One." He knew only love and now enjoys the full and complete blessing of our heavenly Father. Those he leaves behind cling to the everlasting hope that we will be reunited before the throne of God.

Bennett was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Michael Sutter and David Lotterman. He will be forever loved by his parents, Cord and Anne Sutter; "Lolly" Joy Lotterman; "Grandpa and Grammy" Keith and Melissa Brower; aunts and uncles, Brandy Brower, Chase Sutter, Christian (Megan) Brower; cousin Callahan; several great-grandparents; as well as great-aunts, great-uncles, and second cousins.

There will be a memorial service, held at Friendship Christian Reformed Church, 190 100th Street SE, Byron Center, MI on Friday, January 16, beginning at 5PM. Doors will open at 4:30PM. Rev. Dr. Benj Petroelje will officiate. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Bennett's honor can be made to Sleeping Angels Foundation (https://give.corewellhealth.org/west/donate/search/complete-gift?fid=914b00ee-02e2-4e45-a196-563f5c49e994).
