It is with heavy hearts that we share the unexpected passing of our fraternal brother John Benefield, who tragically passed away after a sudden heart attack. He was a husband, devoted father, and friend whose wit, laughter, and warmth touched everyone he met.

John leaves behind his wife, Keia, three beautiful children, Taylor, Sydney, and John-John. The family is now facing the unimaginable loss of someone who meant everything to them.

This fundraiser was created to help relieve some of the financial burden that comes with this sudden tragedy. All funds raised will go towards supporting his children and helping the family navigate this difficult time as they grieve and adjust.

No contribution is too small — every donation and word of support makes a difference. Your kindness and generosity means more to them than words can express.

Thank you for standing with the Benefield family during this difficult time.

Thank you,

Columbia (MD) Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.
