Obituary – Steven Glenn Bennett

Published 10:53 am Tuesday, December 24, 2019

Steven Glenn Bennett, 42, of Calhoun City, Miss., passed from this life on Friday, Dec. 20, 2019, in Greenville at Delta Regional Medical Center after an extended illness. Steven was born in Oxford on September 27, 1977, to Jerry Lynn Bennett and Rebecca Walker Grier.

Steven spent many seasons of his life behind the wheel of a big rig as a truck driver. When Steven wasn’t transporting goods across the nation, he could be found cruising a field preparing a field for its planting. Steven was an avid outdoorsman, which could be evident by his love for horseback riding, hunting, and fishing. As a member of Lewis Memorial United Methodist, Steven learned about the gift of eternal life, and accepted this gift from his heavenly father.

Steven leaves behind his mother, Rebecca Walker Grier, Calhoun City; father, Jerry Lynn Bennett, Oxford; paternal grandparents, Clinton and Ruby Bennett, Oxford; one brother, Terry Lynn (Kayla) Bennett, Oxford; one nephew, Kyle Bennett; one niece, Kristen Bennett. Steven was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Aubrey and Marie Walker.

The family will receive friends on Friday, Dec. 27, 2019, from 5 p.m.-8 p.m.at Parker Memorial Funeral Home of Bruce. A funeral service remembering Steven’s life will take place Saturday, Dec. 28, 2019, at 11 a.m. in the Chapel of Parker Memorial Home with Rev.
