Bennett came to Mayfield High School in junior year, which in and of itself,  is difficult.  We became close friends almost immediately due to his sweet and caring nature.  
I am so very saddened that he is no longer with us at and that his time was so short.

May you find peace in the coming days ahead.

Jodi -- From a fellow Mayfield alum, I'm sorry about your brother's passing.  I just lost my dad last year so I have an idea how it feels right now.  Take care.

May he Rest In Peace.

Dear Kest Family;

I had known the big guy all my life. Almost drowned together on lake Erie when we were young. Along with many other adventures. Big guy with a big heart. The world will miss him.

Bennett always stuck up for me, somebody his size it was a good thing. Holidays he would send me nice gifts and graciously accept my money and candy and stale cookies. I only heard from him on Holidays but I will always remember his kindness andI even shed a few years. I did sing a song on Starmakers the Voice and dedicated it to him if you ever want to look it up. My email is msg1222@yahoo.com. The funeral people are distant relatives to my family. I like them but I usually keep my own distance from funeral people. You all have my condolences. Michael S. Garvin.

Dear Kest family - please accept our sympathies on the loss of Bennett.  He was so caring for so many years with Jewish Big Brothers and I was honored to be a Big Brother with him to Tony and Andy for so many good years with so many good memories!
