Roger Bennett - Hero of the Faith

Roger Bennett co-founder of the christian singing group Legacy Five completed his earthly journey and went on to join Jesus on Mar 17, 2007. Roger wrote and performed a song called "Heroes of the Faith" which commemorated his heroes. Roger is himself a TRUE hero of the faith. Hopefully, Roger performing his song and pictures of him will appropriately celebrate his life and help us remember what a great inspiration he has been to so many people.

Roger was diagnosed with leukemia in 1995. He fought the illness for 12 years through chemotherapy and several bone marrow transplants (involving many long months in the hospital) but was finally called home to the Lord on Mar 17, 2007. Thanks for your interest.

@mrbum8170 he's leukemia is why he took time off from both The Cathedral's and Legacy Five

My Grandma, was personally great friends with Roger. As their friendship began to grow so did mine & his.. Although I not even 12 Roger and I were the greatest of friends..one night at his concert he said to me into the microphone near the end of the concert, "Honey u know I want to get of this stage and come down there and give a big old hug..sadly I cannot." I was heartbroken to the news of his sad death.. He was a great husband, dad and better yet...friend.. Oh how I miss him! Love you Roger

Crreia. Hoje ele esta cantando, e tocasndo junto aO Mestre, pois afinal de contas, Ele prometeu assim, para os que nEle creem, e seguem. Eu fiquei surpreso ao saber de sua morte. Morreu quando eu fui diagnosticado com quase o mesmo tipo de cancer, mas the Lord decidiu que eu ainda ficarei por aqui por mais um tempo, para testemunhar de que Ele ainda esta pronto para salvar e curar.

The most inspirational of pianists. His perfomances on the Cathedrals Farewell video in particular are simply amazing.
