Tommy Benton Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
He especially enjoyed football season, cheering on his favorite teams-the Dallas Cowboys and the Oklahoma Sooners. When the games weren't on, he could often be found relaxing with a fishing pole in hand, enjoying the peace of the outdoors.
Tommy is survived by his loving wife of 25 years, Patsy Benton; his daughter, Michelle Benten; his bonus children, Joshua Yahola and his wife Tina, and Crystal Tiger and her husband Bryan Berryhill; four cherished grandchildren; and his brothers, Bobby, Sammy, Ted, and Randy Benton.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Ricky Benton.
Tommy will be remembered for his love of sports, his quiet strength, and the love he shared with his family. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
