Bennett Jantz Hanneman died June 17, 2015 after a mighty battle against Pearson Syndrome, a rare mitochondrial disease. He was born February 28, 2012 to Aimee and Ben Hanneman, and big sister, Adeline.
Bennett loved diggers, queso, biscuits and gravy, lime sherbet, being outside, reading books, singing, Tangled and Dusty Crophopper. Most of all he just loved and is loved like crazy. He lived every day with passion, resiliency, determination and courage.
He is survived by Momma, Dada, and Sissy, as well as grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family, and countless friends. His fight was championed by a dynamic medical team at OU Children's Hospital, to whom we will be forever grateful.
