David Cecil Bennison
November 5, 1949 - June 5, 2019
David Cecil Bennison, 69, of East Helena, passed away at his home on June 5, 2019. David was born in Davenport, Iowa on Nov. 5, 1949, the third of four children, to David and Ruth Bennison.
In 1968 when David graduated from high school, he joined the Marine Corps and served for 2 years. After his service he spent many years enjoying a life of adventure. He loved to travel, go on motorcycle trips, visit historical sights, and experience new things. He always enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. By 1976 he had moved to Alaska to work on the Alyeska Pipeline.
On July 29, 1984 David married Debbie Mohrmann, which he always said was the best thing that ever happened to him. They raised their 4 kids in Alaska until moving to Montana in 1995. Being a dad and eventually 'Grandpa B' were his greatest joys.
David is survived by his wife, his 2 sons, 2 daughters, 3 granddaughters, 3 sisters, and many extended family. David was preceded in death by his parents.
A memorial service and reception will be held on July 29, 2019 at Helena First Assembly of God Church, 2210 Dodge Ave. at 11:00 am. In lieu of flowes, donations may be made to Options Clinic, which David faithfully supported.

David was always fun to work with. I met him in 1981 at Pump Station 2. He became my mentor for learning to operate the facility and later at Pump Station 10. Always willing to share knowledge and to make work enjoyable.
