Timothy "Big Tim" Bennett, 58, passed away at home on Monday, December 18, 2017 in Lompoc, California. He was born December 26, 1958 to Robert and Kay Bennett in Muskegon, Michigan. He journeyed to Lompoc, California in the late 70's where he worked in construction to become a Senior Engineer Tech. He also enjoyed umpiring for many years. The biggest accomplishment he would always say is his kids and how proud of them he was. He took great pride and joy in them all.

Those surviving are his mother Kay Bennett; two sons, Michael and Mark "Bugsy", one daughter Melissa grandchildren Luke, Chloe, Andrew, Lauren, Beau; Zachery, Tyler, Nicholas and Miranda. Tim is also survived by three brothers, nieces, nephews, many relatives and friends who loved him.

Big Tim will be fondly remembered by his quick one liners, big hugs and his heart that was bigger than life. He loved his family, baseball, and riding his Harley. "Your ride may have come to an end, but in the end, it's not the years in life, it's the life in the years. Your presence we'll be missed, the memories we'll treasure, we'll love you always and forget you never."
