Benny Cromity

Benny Cromity was a young man from Cleveland whose life touched family and friends. Public records and court filings identify him as 22 years old at the time of his death on April 4, 2018. Though formal memorial notices from funeral homes or family-published obituaries matching that date were not found in the public record, court documents and community memorials record Benny as a brother and a member of a family that figures prominently in local accounts.

Court summaries and public records refer to close family relationships—Beniqua and Tameris Cromity are named relatives—indicating Benny was part of an extended family network. Community remembrance pages that honor victims of gun violence also list Benny and show people have lit virtual candles and left messages remembering him. Those community responses reflect the private grief of loved ones and the broader sorrow felt by neighbors and acquaintances.

While details about Benny’s work, hobbies, or other everyday aspects of his life do not appear in reliable published obituaries available online, the sources that do reference him make clear that he was a real person whose life had meaning to family members who survive him. The public documents record his age, ties to Cleveland, and family connections; beyond those verified facts, there is little publicly available personal detail that can be responsibly reported.

This page honors Benny by centering the reality that he was more than a line in a court opinion or a news brief: he was a son, a brother, and a person whose life mattered. For those who knew him, memories and private remembrances remain the truest testimony to who he was. May this brief remembrance acknowledge his existence and the loss his family endured, and may those who carry his memory find comfort and care.
