“Remember you’re representing your Benningfield family,” “Nothing good ever happens passed midnight,” “Two wrongs don’t make a right,” were just a small handful of sayings that Don, AKA Uncle Doc, Sonny Boy, Daddy Don, Pa, Sug, and Daddy used before finishing his 80-year adventure on June 4, 2023, at home surrounded by family. Don was born on September 7, 1942, in Merkel, Texas to Sidney Clarence and Zelma Benningfield. He started his elementary school years in a basement of the Baptist church in Sterling City, Texas. He continued his schooling in Clairemont and Jayton in Kent County. Don had several loves including horses, truck driving, and Harley Davidson. He married his true love, Delane “Doty” on May 27, 1966. Don and Doty have 4 children. Don cowboy’d on various ranches beginning at the age of 10 breaking colts.
