Benny was a God-fearing man who lived with steadfast faith, quiet strength, and deep
love for those around him. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend,
he placed his family at the center of everything he did.

He is survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Carolyn Tays Maxfield, who stood by his
side through every season of life. He leaves behind two sons, David Maxfield and wife,Kim, and Marty Maxfield and wife, Jamie; seven grandchildren, Matthew, Dylan, Ben,Brogan, Titus, Abram, and Annestin Maxfield; one brother, Milton Maxfield and wife,Elaine, of Allons; two sisters, Betty Jo Hancock of Monroe and Francis Louise Hargis of Indiana and several nieces and nephews.

For 38 years, he drove a truck for IWC with dedication and pride, providing for his home
and forming lifelong friendships along the road. In his free time, he found joy in simple
pleasures like fishing, hunting, playing games, watching classic westerns, going to his
grandchildren's ball games, and especially reading his Bible, which guided his steps
daily.

A faithful member of Mt. Pisgah Church of Willow Grove for many years, he was known for his warm
presence and unwavering devotion. He loved to play music, sharing melodies that
reflected his spirit and his love for the Lord.

Though deeply missed, his legacy lives on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
