Julius, Tyrell, Shivonne, Domica, Sophie along with Anthony Washington provided him with wonderful care and supports in the community. Benny enjoyed sporting events, Disney on Ice, watching movies and going out to eat. He spent his last Christmas with the Williams family and received many gifts.
Benny is also survived by his legal guardian, The Arc of Pueblo, residential agency Spectrum and The Resource Exchange. Special thanks also go to the Colorado Mental Health Institute in Pueblo and the Pueblo Regional Center who provided support for Benny for many years. We will miss his infectious smile and laughter.
