They had 66 hard-earned years together and loved each other to the very end. 
After losing his father at age 9, Scotty had to go to work to help the family. His first job was recovering seats at the picture show where he boasted of being paid 25 cents a seat and all the used gum he wanted. Always the prankster he never lost his sense of humor, even playing dead, much to his nurse’s dismay. Scotty was an avid pilot, golfer, and loved horse racing; with several near misses and zero major crashes in all.

He was well respected and considered a friend by his employees, customers, and vendors alike. Through their oilfield migration, Scotty and Patsy raised three children.

Gordon Dean Bennett, 68, completed his journey on earth and entered his eternal home in Heaven on October 14, 2020 after a hard-fought battle with pancreatic cancer. Cancer beat his body but did not win his soul and spirit. He is rejoicing in a great reunion with our Lord and Savior and precious son Chase. A memorial service will be held on Friday, November 6, 2020 at 4:00pm at Christian Church of San Angelo with Revs. Bob Beaver and Mills Caraway officiating. 
Gordon was born on May 14, 1952 in San Angelo and lived his entire life here. In 1971 Gordon followed in his father’s footsteps into the aircraft maintenance profession. He achieved his A&P (Airframe & Power Plant) License after interning with his father and later earned his IA (Inspection & Authorization) License of which he was very proud. Gordon spent his entire career at Mathis Field/San Angelo Regional Airport working at Flight Service, Ranger Aviation, GTE and end of career at Precision Aircraft. Gordon was an expert aircraft mechanic and well-respected in his field. Gordon’s only regret was that he lacked only one year of attaining The Charles Taylor 50 Year Mechanic Award which he was working part-time after retirement to attain until cancer attacked his body. 
Gordon met Carol Gay Hardgrave at their jobs at the airport in 1980 and after a short pursuit on her part, they married on August 13, 1981 sharing 39 years of marriage and enjoying the births and raising of two amazing sons, Jared Joseph and Chase Gordon. 
Gordon was preceded in death by his beloved son Chase, parents Dean and Yvonne Bennett, sister Cecilia Allen and parents-in-law Jo and Marjorie Hardgrave. 
Gordon is survived by his wife, Carol; son, Jared and wife Delane Bennett with their daughter Sutton arriving in late November. In hopes of him being here for that arrival, it just wasn’t meant to be but now we realize he will meet her angel spirit in Heaven before any of us meet her on earth. Furry survivors are Sadie, Sophie, Emma and Luke. 
Also surviving Gordon are sisters, Betty Nelms, Anne (Manuel) San Miguel, Mary Lynn (Mickey) Nelms, Donna (Jim) Behringer and brother, Karl (Carla) Bennett and brother-in-law Bobby Allen. He is also loved and survived by his in-law family Gary (Kathy) Hardgrave and Vickie (Sam) Murr.
