Bennett and I became great pals as teenagers thru BBYO. We later ran into each other at our Dale Carnegie class, many years later. He was such a kind person. His family was everything to him. My heartfelt condolences to all.

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!
