Came to know Jim when he opened up Bennett's Automotive in Greer, close to my home. I immediately found Jim to be an Honest Man when I took a Vehicle to him with an Issue I thought I had. Turned out it was a Normal matter that didn't need to be addressed. I tried to pay him, he refused an money. Said it was ""On the House"' remember me when you need more work done. I never went anywhere else. Jim will truly be missed.

I’m sorry for your loss, pain and suffering. Whenever we lose a loved one in death we feel a sting and a void in our hearts, as if someone ripped part of our heart out. The pain seems like it will never go away. It will with time, or it will at least ease up. The Bible reassures us of that in 1 Corinthians 15:54,55 - “Death is swallowed up forever. Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting?” God promises us there will be no more death. (Rev. 22:3,4). Turn to him in prayer.

Martha, I had not met Jim except through you on Facebook. I just watched the tribute video to him. There is no doubt of the depth of love the two of you shared together. I am so sorry for your loss, my friend. And, I'm so glad you've been blessed to know and experience that kind of love of a lifetime. I'm sadden it wasn't for many years but I know you will live in the joy of knowing the richness you've been blessed with. Much love, big hugs, and many prayers to you and others.

To the Bennett Family: I was most shocked and saddened to hear of Jim's passing. I knew Jim through his automotive repair business where I was a customer for the last few years. Jim and I often talked and it was very clear to me that he had a deep faith and loved his family with all he had. He always treated me nicely and was a fine gentleman. He will be missed by all of his customers and please accept our condolences for his passing at such a young age and may the peace and understanding of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all in this time of deep sorrow.

Martha, Chelsea and The Bennett Families. We are sorry for your loss. Chelsea and I were talking and the one thing we both said was the love Jim had for her mother was obvious and true. They waited a long time to have what they had and it was real and gone too fast. He showed unconditional love to Chelsea. He will never be forgotten because his memories will live on. May you feel Gods peace, presence and love during this difficult time and draw strength from your family and friends. We never have the right words to say at a time like this, just know that you are not alone and we are praying for Gods guidance and comfort. We love you and will always be here for you.
