Adam Benjamin Obituary MASTER SERGEANT ADAM F. BENJAMIN, USMC, age 34; passed away Tuesday, August 18, 2009 while proudly serving his country in Afghanistan; beloved son of Judy Watters (husband, Robert) and Frank Benjamin; loving Read Obituary
I would like to thank all who had a part in producing this person who gave the last full measure for his country. When our young say "no way Hosea" to military service, then our representative Republic will be more. America is a "gift from God", and frankly, so was Master Sergeant Benjamin.
Our sincere sympathy from Garfield Hts. neighbors.
Please know that I am with you in prayer, and trusting that you, in God's mercy, will know His strength, peace, and love at this difficult time. May God's blessings abide with all the family and friends of Adam Benjamin.
Bob, Judy and Family, My heart goes out to you at this time. Jim called and told me about your loss. I am so very sorry. You must be so proud to have had such a fine son, May God Bless him and help you through this sorrowful time. My prayers and love go out to you and your family.Love, Gloria,Larry Eischen and Family
Our prayers are with your family.Adam gave the altimate gift for our freedom. May God be with you. And may Adam rest in peace.
I first met Adam when he came to Delaware for my sisters wedding. He was looking for a big freezer so he could store all this good food from Ohio. Adam spent the whole weekend with us. He told us about your whole family. Adam was my escort at the weddding. He made me practice walking up the aisle two times because I couldn't walk in unison. I guess that Marine mentality comes through in all walks of life. He was a wonderful person & a great friend to my sister & brother in law. My thoughts & prayers go out to the family during this difficult time. I am forever grateful for his service to our country. He will remain in our hearts.
"+", sup? I know, that some day we'll be together and we'll fish that great spot that you have now.Save some fish for me!I love you son! your dad,Bobby
My prayers are with you during this difficult time. Adam was a great guy with a great sense of humor. He will always hold a special place in my heart and family. May god bless you and your family.
Adam and I went to school together for years. He and I had many mutual friends and always saw one another when we were in the same place at the same time. We mostly kept touch through phone calls and emails. Although we did not get to talk often, he always brought a smile to my face when we did! He happened to be in town the weekend of my wedding and had some time, so my husband and I invited him sort of unexpectedly, but happily. We also were able to visit with him at a mutual friend over Christmases. In that short time of knowing him, even my husband could sense what a good man Adam is and I was so proud to see him over the years. Nothing really touched us, though, so much as his loss! We had heard many reports of others lost to the war, but having the actual connection made of both so very proud to have been able to know one of the men that has given the ultimate price for all of our freedom and so very ashamed that we often took the others for granted. Adam will always be remembered for the fun loving person and great friend that he remained through long distances and major tribulations as well as the American hero that he is! We will miss him very much! We are very sorry for your loss!
I never had the oppertunity to meet MSG Benjamin. I am deeply saddend by the news of his death. I have been in both the Army and the Navy and have been deployed twice, and am currently gearing up for my third. It is hard to lose a loved one and even harder to lose one in combat. I want you to know that the military is morning also. I wanted to leave you with a poem titled " A Soldiers Pray". I hope it brings some comfort in you time of need. A Soldier's Prayer (author unknown) Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die.
