Jack Benner

Jacob (Jack) Benner died on September 21, 2023 in the same home he was born in on

August 16, 1934. Jack attended Park City Schools and was an outstanding football

player. He graduated in 1953 and married his high school sweetheart, Charlotte

Mitchell, on October 24, 1954. He was proud of his wife and always said he married the

most amazing woman!  To this union four children were welcomed: Christene, Laura,

Kenneth and Maria.

After the death of his father, Jack took over the family farm. Farming was a hard life, but

through hard work, the Grace of God, and a pure stubborn spirit, they prevailed. Jack

and Charlotte farmed together side by side, hand in hand, for 52 years until the Lord

called Charlotte home in 2007. Together they enjoyed raising crops, cattle, and found

joy in every season. You could always find Jack out in the field in the spring, digging in

the soil with his pocketknife to see if the seeds had sprouted and inspecting his straight

crop rows.  He enjoyed taking a drive to the hills, with Charlotte and their grandchildren.

He loved summer family BBQ’s when all his children, grandchildren and great

grandchildren would join. He enjoyed the company of his dogs (Ponco and Lucky)

because “a farm isn't a farm without a dog”!

Throughout life, Jack admired his wife’s faith, and in his final days, professed the

goodness of our Lord to all who visited, including his many grandchildren and great

grandchildren. He now rests in heaven with his wife Charlotte, whom he waited years to

join. Son, Kenneth, Parents, Jacob and Mary, Siblings, Helen, Bernice, Betty, Walter, and

John. He is survived by his children Christene (Tom) Lowell, Laura (Doug) Thormahlen

both of Park City and Maria (Duane) Peters of Sidney. Grandchildren: Eric (Kristi)

Lowell, Bryce Lowell, Shelley (Ryan) Erickson, Erin (Hank) Krause, Tamara (Kevin)

Ziegler, Nicole (Adam Rice) Sargent, Darcy (Jacob) Manuel, Lyle (Kayleen) Peters,

Nichole (Tyler) Christensen, and 21 Great Grandchildren. 

Memorial  Services will be Friday September 29 at 10:00 AM at Park City Baptist Church with

a reception to follow at the Church.   Memorial contributions may be made in Jack’s name to the Park City Baptist Church.
