Publish in a newspaper

Benedict "Benny" Mathews, passed away peacefully at his home on November 14th, 2025 at the age of 68. He held a variety of jobs throughout his life, but the one he was the most proud of, was being the owner of O.G's Pets: an exotics pet shop through which he passionately served his local communities in Monett, Aurora, and the surrounding area.
He will be remembered for his larger than life personality, his sense of humor, his ethics, and his love. His love for his family, his love for his friends and his love of animals.
He is survived by his wife, Holly; his daughter, Bentlee; his son, Parker; his sister, Marie (Matt); his two brothers, Thom (Karla) and David; his aunt, Berna; his cousin, Danielle; his niece, Katherine; and two nephews, Conner and Miles. He is reunited with his beloved mother, Mary Lou.
A celebration of Benny's life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, December 12, 2025 at Buchanan Funeral Home. Arrangements have been entrusted to Buchanan Funeral Home, Monett, MO.
