Frank Bennett

Frank Anthony Bennett, 63, of Independence, formerly of Richmond, passed away Jan. 14, 2023, at the Rehab Hospital of Overland Park, Kan., after a long fight with lung cancer and other medical issues. Frank was born Nov. 28, 1959, in Kansas City to Jerry Paul and Betty May (Moore) Bennett, who both preceded him in death. He was married to Terry Lynn (Horton) Bennett in February of 1984. She also preceded him in death.

Frank is survived by one brother, Ralph Paul (Meredith) Bennett of Excelsior Springs; one sister, Clifonda Jo Bennett of Richmond; one brother-in-law, Denver Dale (Sherry) Horton Jr.; two nieces, Margot (Trinidad) Zubia and Erin Ashley (Gary) Wilson; one nephew, Cody (Kyrah) Horton; and five grandnieces and grandnephews, Augustus Zubia, Hunter Wilson, Easton Wilson, Sophia Horton and Kailor Horton.

Frank enjoyed camping, hunting, fishing and going to the gun range. He was retired from Ford Motor Co., Claycomo assembly plant, where he had numerous friends. He was kind, caring and non-judgmental to all he knew, and he will be missed greatly by his family and friends.

Frank’s wishes were to not have a service. Instead, he wanted to be cremated and have a celebration of life party at a later date for Terry and himself.
