POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

We have created a “Pat Bennett Memorial Fund” to honor my daddy. Whatever money is donated will be used to pour back into our community and the things my daddy loved most: hogs, cows and football. One of the most important things in his life was helping kids around here. I cannot tell you the amount of times he would drop off meat at somebody’s home from one of our cows, or raise and pay for a hog that some kid down the road could show at the county show. The 100s of hours he spent coaching boys at the rec field. Every penny will go to carrying on his legacy. If you feel led to donate, you can use the venmo I’ve posted in the last pic. My family is so grateful for the love that has been poured out to us. I wish I could express it and give all of y’all a hug. We feel it, we love y’all. Thank you.

“My father didn’t tell me how to live; he lived and let me watch him do it.”- Clarence B. Kelland

The love we shared can’t be expressed.

Mr. Patrick Leon Bennett, 55, of Blackshear, passed away suddenly Friday evening, July 28, 2023, at his residence.

Born in Waycross, GA on February 26, 1968, he had lived in Pierce Co for most of his life. Pat was known by all his friends as a simple man who showed his love by pouring his heart into the things that brought him joy. When he was a boy, his Pa taught him how to work with his hands; growing watermelons, a trade he would pass on to his son, Patch. He also learned to raise and show livestock, a hobby he used to bond with his daughter, Carson whom he called “Sissy”. Pat was a celebrated member of the Future Farmers of America. From middle school to high school, he racked up quite a few titles in the FFA organization including serving as chapter officer, a member of the 1985 State Winner Dairy Judging Team, 1986 State Livestock Judging Team and recipient of the Green Hand Degree, Chapter Farmer Degree and Georgia Planter Degree. At one competition he even won himself a Limousine Heifer. None of these awards compared to the best prize he ever won –his “sweet thang”, Shannon, whom he made his wife in August 1997. True to his fashion, it was a slow burn type of love that led to a potent and powerful love story and later two amazing children. He was a member of the Pierce County High School class of 1986. He continued his education at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College where he earned his Associates Degree. Pat was an avid hunter and fisherman. He was a member of the Pierce County Hunting Club and Riverswamp Hunting Club. He truly loved dog hunting and fishing the Alabaha River. For 25 years he served the community with his bucket truck and a chainsaw. Alongside his friend and business partner, Wiley Cowan, he operated A-1 Tree Service. He took great pride in coaching recreation football. Over eight years, his coaching skills and dedication to the boys on the field made it possible for him to lead his teams to three State Championships and win two of these competitions. by @patch.bennett
