Oden Marshall Bennett

Oden Marshall Bennett unexpectedly left this world on September 3, 2015; two weeks shy of his first birthday. Visitation will be held on Thursday, September 10, 2015 from 4 to 8 p.m. at O’Connor Funeral Home. A funeral service will be held on Friday, September 11, 2015 at 2:30 p.m. at the Great Falls Christian Center with burial to follow at Highland Cemetery. Oden was born on September 16, 2014 in Great Falls to Ian and Kattie (Gange) Bennett. His loving older brother and sister, Heath and Kenadi, awaited his birth with joyful expectation along with many friends and family. Oden had a face that would melt any heart, a smile that would radiate a room, and a giggle that resonated through the air. He touched many lives and gave his family a lifetime of love during his brief time on Earth. He was only just beginning to master using a cup and feeding himself and was trying to prepare for his first steps. We will miss sharing these milestones with our little rosy-cheeked butterball. Oden is survived by his parents; brother and sister; grandparents Alex and Meeghan Bennett, Tina Childers, Vicki (Brian) Day, and Gerard Gange; great-grandmothers Sheila (Denny) Kohlhepp and Lori Humble; aunts and uncles Nicolette Bennett and Paul Helling, Thomas and Amy Gange, Steven and Tiffany Gange, Kristi Gange, Lillian Childers, and Reace Childers. Oden also had numerous cousins and a large, loving extended family. His life was brief but a precious gift that will live in the hearts of his loved ones forever.
