THE LIFE STORY/CELEBRATION OF LIFE

Eric J. Bennings was born November 14th, 2000, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Mahondo Bennings and Pebbles Freeman. He attended Laura Wheeler Waring Elementary School and later graduated from Job Corps in the Poconos.

Eric pursued his passion as an independent artist preparing to release an album in 2027. Eric was known for his singing and dancing any and everywhere. Eric pursued a career with the Lower North Philadelphia Community Development Corporation, where he was dedicated to keeping our streets clean for many years. Eric cherished Sundays with family, especially going to his grandmother’s house for some good ole soul food. A devoted Philadelphia E.A.G.L.E.S Eagles fan, Eric loved the game. He loved his family deeply, especially his nieces, and enjoyed life with enthusiasm.

He leaves to cherish his memory his parents, Mahondo Bennings and Pebbles Freeman; his great grandmother Betty Jean Jennings; his sisters Erica Bennings and Zahirah Freeman-Turner; his God-sister Dayana Williams; his nieces Zaniyah, Zahiyyah, and Zariyah; along with aunts, uncles, cousins, his best friend Dada, and a host of loving friends and family.

Eric, your time with us was far too short, but the love you shared, the music you carried in your own way and the memories made at the family gatherings will live on through us. You were loved, you are deeply missed, and you’ll forever hold a special place in our hearts. Your memory remains a blessing.
