Obituary for Virgil Benner
Virgil Edward Benner unexpectedly left this world January 3, 2021 in Fresno California at Community Regional Medical Center with his long-time partner Jeannie at his side.
Virgil was born July 21, 1961 to Edward E Benner Jr and Lois (Wilmoth) Benner in Damariscotta, ME.
Most days Virgil could be found tinkering on a project or helping someone fix their car or anything else they needed help with. He spent most of his life on the water lobstering, commercial fishing or just hanging out at the docks.
He was the consummate life of the party always with a mischievous smile and infectious laugh. Virgil never saw a stranger and no matter how mad you thought you may be at him he was quick to turn it around and have you laughing forgetting why you were mad in the first place. His favorite past-time was embarrassing kids, especially his oldest and all his numerous nieces and nephews.
Virgil is survived by his long-term partner Jean (Linscott) Benner; children Amanda Gray, Nicole Morris and Virgil (Eddie) Edward Benner Jr., Jeremy Linscott and Daniel Linscott.

Half siblings Nellie Benner, Henry Benner and Kathy Berninger. He also had numerous nieces and nephews he loved to spend time with.
He is predeceased by his father Edward Benner Jr. and siblings Danny Benner, Edward Benner III and Clarion Sullivan.
