The Life of Mr. Christopher Bennett, 28

Christopher was born on December 25, 1982 to Lori B. Arrington and Lexie Webb, Jr. in Roanoke Rapids, NC. Moochie, as he was affectionately known, was introduced to Jesus Christ very early in life.

He was a memeber of Shearin Chapel Baptist Church and later he united with the Community Missionary Baptist Church, Weldon, NC until his passing. Christopher was educated through Northampton County Public Schools System.

Moochie battled his illness for many years, but endured with a smile. Moochie's life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by him, understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. He touched the lives of many people with his smile and generosity, and maintained his trademark sense of humor all the way to the end.

One of his great enjoyments of life was spending time with his precious niece Yazme'en Taliyaha Manley, nephew Saquan Travell Manley, cousin Triana Tishelle Bennett, and his road buddy and cousin Deryck Bennett.

Christopher was preceded in death by his Maternal Great-Grandparents: Marion & Helen Bradley; his Maternal Great-Grandparents: Sam & Ida Bennett; his Paternal Grandparents: Lexie Sr. & Clydie Webb; and a beloved Aunt: Sandra Marshall and two other Aunts: Deloris Robinson & Bernice Fisher.

Stokes of the home, A'lexus Taylor of Weldon, NC, Brooklyn Fields of Gaston, NC; two brothers: Eric Parker and Greg Neville both of Roanoke Rapids, NC; Maternal Grandparents: Sam & Lula Bennette of the home; Step Grandparents: Sam & Rebecca Arrington, Halifax, NC; five aunts; his beloved Audrea Bennett, Garysburg, NC, Clara Robinson & Lessie Webb both of Welson, NC; Thomasine Arrington, Halifax, NC and Teresa Avent and husband Larry, Roanoke Rapids, NC; four uncles: Tony Cook (Adopted Uncle), Louisburg, NC, William Lee Webb and wife Shirley, Garysburg, NC, Edison Arrington and wife Karen and Christopher Arrington both of Halifax, Nc; special friends: Brittany High, Christopher Phillips, a friend : Kamicia Ponton, and a host of other relatives, cousins and friends.
