Hewitt Franklin Bennett

He was predeceased by his parents, Jack and Sallie Bennett.

He is survived by two brothers, Weldon (Jane) Bennett and Mike (Jewel) Bennett and a sister, Sharon McClain. He is also survived by his five children, Tammy (David) Janes, Cissy (Chris) Walker, Lisa (Jeremy) Smith, Seth (Ashley) Bennett, and Lana (Rick) Moore. He is survived by his grandchildren, Paige (Tyler) Eads, Summer Janes, Marley Smith, Nathan Walker, Katelyn Bennett, Carson Bennett, Mary Austin Smith, Jackson Moore, and Bennett Moore; and great-grandchildren, Kaiden and Addison Eads.

He shared his love for sports by coaching multiple baseball and softball teams throughout the Mobile area for many years, beginning at the age of 15. Coaching is how he met his best friend of 62 years, Ed East. Frank’s sociable personality allowed him to never meet a stranger. His devotion to his career at McAbee Construction set the example for his family of what it meant to maintain a strong work ethic. The majority of his post retirement job was being a full-time PawPaw. Anyone who met him knew how strong his love was for his family.

Funeral services will be held Monday, March 22, 2021 at 11 a.m. from the chapel of Radney Funeral Home in Saraland. Visitation will be Sunday from 6 - 8 p.m. at the funeral home. Interment will be in Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens.
