Honoring the Stolen Life of Kelvin Bennett
The city of Aberdeen and the community of Ellicott City are gripped by a “shattering grief” today as we process the “unfathomable loss” of Kelvin Bennett. At 70 years old, Kelvin was a man whose life was defined by “radical decency” and an unwavering devotion to his family. His sudden and tragic passing on Route 40 this past Monday has left a “piercing heartbreak” that resonates through the hearts of all who knew him. To lose a “vibrant soul” like Kelvin so abruptly in a “violent shockwave” of a collision is a shattering blow that reminds us all of the “piercing fragility” of our time on this earth. Today, we don’t just mourn a passenger; we mourn a “genuinely beautiful person” who was a constant source of light and a “source of strength” for his loved ones.
