Frank Stuart Bennett

Frank Stuart Bennett August 30, 1963 – August 24, 2021 Frank is survived by his two beloved sons: Joshua Ryan age 25 and Zachary Tyler age 20. He is also survived by his ex-wife of 34 years, Suzanne, and a brother Jonathan Bennett. Frank attended The University of Florida, where he was a member of the Gator Marching Band and graduated from The University of North Florida with a degree in Business Administration. He was employed by Florida Blue for 29 years, where he was well respected and had many good friends. Frank worked very hard to provide a comfortable life for his family and achieved that goal. He was particularly proud of Joshua for his engaging and mechanical mind he possessed. He greatly respected and dearly loved Joshua for the achievements he had made and the wonderful future he had ahead of him. Zachary and Frank shared a special bond of soccer, a game Zachary played since age 4. This was their thing. They had a very special private ritual when they would travel away for games. Frank and Zachary would go to Ruby Tuesdays for a father-son dinner and then eat the most outrageous dessert they could find. From the time the boys were young, Frank would whisk them away on Saturday to the most outrageous parks. If the park was within aa 50-mile radius, you can be sure they visited it. Frank and the boys shared many “boy” rituals of pizza, Netflix binging and beer (root beer for those underage). Another true passion they aall shared was the love of amusement parks, particularly the wild roller coasters(Joshua first until Zachary was tall enough to ride). Frank was an avid vacation planner and planned many family, extended family, and even couple’s getaways. We have many great memories due to his diligence. Frank’s greatest achievement was that of being a father, it meant so much to him when the boys would want him to accompany them on a school trip, camping excursion, or any adventure. He left us with many beautiful memories of adventures and will be greatly missed.
