Memorial fund established for Bennett family
Idaho State Police
It
is with great sadness that I report the End of
Watch for Sergeant Kevin Bennett of the Idaho
State Police, a 15 year veteran, close friend
and co-worker. 35 year old Kevin lost his battle
with cancer early Tuesday morning and leaves
behind his wife, Jolynn, and their three small
children.Kevin was, and is, the definition of what it means to be a father, friend and Trooper.
Sergeant Bennett joined the Idaho State Police in 1998, and served as a road troop in Bonners Ferry, Idaho, until being promoted to Sergeant in District One in the fall of 2012.
Kevin had countless law enforcement accolades to his name, too numerous to mention in this brief notice.
Outside of work, Kevin was a devout husband, father and Christian. Even in his illness, he and his wife pushed forward on the process of adopting a child from Haiti after serving there on mission trips.
As you might imagine, the financial battles Jolynn will face in the years to come will be staggering.
A memorial fund has been established in Kevin’s name and can be easily donated to through any Wells Fargo Bank in the nation. Any amount will help, even if you are willing to skip your daily Starbucks once or twice.
Please call Wells Fargo, or stop by if you are in an area with Wells Fargo and reference “Bennett Memorial Fund.”
