Obituary
Benny William Capp, age 12, left us on May 3, 2017, far too soon. He was born on August 5, 2004 in Bellingham to Cade Capp and Kelli Swanson. Benny filled the lives of those around him with his love, affection, empathy, strength, honesty, laughter and pride. Benny’s twelve years were lived fast, fun, and fearlessly. His boundless energy kept everyone on their toes. He never let the “rules” interfere, and could not be stopped when there was an adventure in front of him. Whether it was a bike, a skateboard, a snowboard or a slip n’ slide he had no fear. He was constantly striving to do “something fun!” and loved playing football with his friends at school, or with his brothers on the weekends. He was the laughter, the jokes, the noise, the magic, wherever he went. He invented a language all his own, a self identified “Savage Master.” Benny was the kid we all wanted to be in school. He was confident, charismatic and hilarious. His smile was infectious, his heart enormous, and he taught everyone the meaning of determination. When he did slow down it was to get back scratches from his loved ones, snuggle his baby brothers or lay with his best friend, Pirate. When you saw Benny with his brothers you saw his whole heart. Benny left a legacy far larger than most in the time we had him and he will never be forgotten. We will all do our best to embrace the joy in everything and strive to Live Like Benny. Benny is survived by his mom Kelli Rae (Chad) Swanson, dad Cade William (Ana) Capp, brothers Jaxon Kness, Griffin Capp, Emmett Swanson, and Crosby Swanson, and Pirate T. Dog – the best dog ever, as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents.

I’m one of many people who Benny didn’t really know, but his loss has hit me. I may not have enriched his life much, but by watching him grow and live and love on Facebook and through my acquaintance with Kelli, he sure enriched my life!
I can’t fathom how hard this is for those who knew him well, lots of love to you all

The last time I saw Benny he was swinging out of the science room window. He was so excited to see Emma. He started yelling her name. I ask Emma, “He gets to do THAT?” She said, “That’s Benny!!!” She is going to miss him so much. School will never be the same for her. No more trips to the teachers lounge to get the hole punches to use as confetti in the cafeteria! And many more stories….. Joy……..
So sorry.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Cade and Kelli. I can’t imagine what you are going through. I met you, Cade, just once a long time ago on a farm on Prairie Rd in Alger, when your Dad, Bill came to play music at my mother in law’s family renunion. I am dear friends with your Dad and his wife Dolly and work with your Dad in the band. My heart goes out to all of you and I pray Heavenly Father will give you comfort during this time. Sue
