Hi, my name is Andrea and I’m writing with a heavy heart as I organize this fundraiser for my friend and yours, Bennie L. Andrews, III.

On September 16, 2025, the world lost one of the kindest, brightest souls to ever walk this planet. Bennie wasn’t just my friend — he was family. For those who knew him, you know how much love, laughter, and light Bennie brought into every room and every situation. Whether it was his Mr. Customer Service laugh, his beautifully open heart, or his turn of phrase, Bennie left a mark on everyone he met.

As his family and I (and of course, you) begin to process this tremendous loss, we want to give Bennie the beautiful goodbye he deserves — something full of love, stories, music, and fellowship.

The Celebration of Bennie’s life will be held at the Hampton Inn at Easton on Stelzer Road in Columbus, Ohio at 11 am on Saturday, October 25, 2025.

We thank you in advance for your time reading this and any contribution you can make toward this celebration of Bennie!
