Ashton Michael Bennett—affectionately called “Duck” by his big sister, RaeLynn—precious infant son of Austin and Jasmine Bennett, was born silently into this world on July 7, 2026, and was welcomed immediately into the loving arms of Jesus.

Though Ashton’s time on earth was far too brief, his life was precious, meaningful, and deeply loved. From the moment his family learned of him, he held a special place in their hearts. Ashton will forever be the cherished baby brother of RaeLynn Bennett, who lovingly gave him the nickname “Duck.”

While his family’s hearts ache for the moments, memories, and milestones they will not have with him here on earth, they find comfort in knowing that Ashton knew only love. He never knew the pain or sorrow of this world. His first sight was the face of Jesus, his first home was Heaven, and his first embrace was in the arms of his Savior.

Ashton leaves behind his loving parents, Austin and Jasmine Bennett; his big sister, RaeLynn Bennett; his grandparents, Stacie and David Bennett, April King, and Eddie Smith; as well as many loving great-grandparents, great-great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family members who will forever carry his memory in their hearts.

Though Ashton’s tiny footprints were never meant to walk this earth, they have left an everlasting imprint on the hearts of everyone who loves him. His family finds peace in knowing that he is safe in Heaven, surrounded by perfect love and held securely in the arms of Jesus.

Until the day they are reunited, Ashton will be remembered in every prayer, every tear, and every quiet moment when Heaven feels just a little closer. His life, though brief, will forever be a precious part of his family’s story.

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.”  — Jeremiah 1:5

Rest peacefully, sweet Ashton Michael—our precious little “Duck.” You were loved every moment of your life, you will be missed every day, and you will forever be held safely in the arms of Jesus.
