Edward (Ted) Melvin Bennett September 11, 1980 – March 6, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Edward (Ted) Melvin Bennett, who tragically took his own life, a devoted husband, loving father, and cherished friend. Ted's kindness, compassion, and unwavering willingness to help those around him left a lasting impact on everyone he knew. He always went beyond expectations when it came to his kids, ensuring their wants and desires were met with love and dedication. He created unforgettable experiences with them through countless trips to amusement parks, movies, and museums, making cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
Ted had a deep love for the great outdoors and found joy in exploring national parks, joined by his family and venturing into remote areas where few dared to go. He was also an avid car enthusiast, finding excitement in fast cars and the thrill they brought. Ted's remarkable knowledge of computers was unparalleled, often leaving his wife amused by his expertise that she jokingly claimed she could never fully understand.
In accordance with Ted's wishes, no funeral services will be held. Since he could not go out like a Viking, his memory will be cherished by those who knew and loved him, and his adventurous spirit will live on in the hearts of all he touched.
If you or someone you know is struggling, please know that help is available. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline can be reached by texting or dialing 988 - you are not alone.

I´m so sorry. I applaud your courage in printing the truth of his death. My 18 year old son took his own life in 1991 and I did the same thing. He sounds like a lovely man. My heart goes out to you all.
