It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Brian Keith Bennett. Brian passed away on November 11, 2025 with his brother by his side in his hometown. He was born on January 8, 1962, in Gardner, MA.
He leaves behind his daughters, Courtney Honore (Bennett) and her three children, along with Shilo Bennett and her two children; and his son, Derek Robichaud and his two children. In addition to his children and grandchildren, Brian also leaves behind his brothers, Pete Bennett and Terrence Bennett, two nephews Terrence Bennett JR, and Kris Bennett JR, and two nieces Tanisha Ankstitus and Jesaca Bennett. He was predeceased by his father Edwin Bennett, mother Doloris Leger, brother Kris Bennett, and niece Kasey Bennett.
Brian will always be remembered for his quick wit, charm, and the way he could make anyone laugh. His humor came naturally - he always had a comeback ready. His laughter was infectious, his smile unforgettable. Beneath that humor was a heart that protected fiercely.
His proudest accomplishments were his children and seeing all they achieved in their lives. Brian was a devoted caretaker to his father Edwin, whom was waiting with open arms for their reunion.
He took great pride in his appearance - and everyone knew he had great hair. It was part of his charm, just like his easy smile and confident presence.
Brian shared a birthday with Elvis Presley, and like Elvis, he had a love for good rock 'n' roll, a free spirit, and a spark that never faded. He found peace and happiness in the Florida beaches, where he could be young, wild, and free - just as he loved to be.
He will be deeply missed, but the sound of his laughter, and his love will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. He is no longer in pain, and at peace in Paradise City - where the grass is green and the girls are pretty.
Graveside Services at Notre Dame Cemetery, West Street, Gardner, MA, will be announced and held at a later date.
