Obituary

     Bennett Gavin Scharmer was born on September 19th, 2015 at Children's Hospital in Minneapolis, MN. He spent the first month of his life in the NICU and then moved home with his parents. Bennett was baptized on November 29th, 2015 at Zion Lutheran Church in Buffalo Lake. 

     Bennett's favorite thing to do was cuddle with his mom and dad. His year of adventures included camping, swimming, going to work with Dad, farmers markets with Mom, visiting the petting zoo, enjoying many wagon rides, and spending time with all of his family. He loved listening to music, evading Mom's kisses, and rewarding many with his beautiful smiles. Bennett spent many days in the hospital at Children's and found even more loved ones there in the doctors and nurses who cared for him.
