Cordell Arlen Benjamin Sr. of Aazhomog, peacefully journeyed to the spirit world on September 21, 2023.

Cordell, better known as Cory, was born to Bernard and Marian Benjamin, on September 6, 1965, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Cory is best known for regularly showing off as a pool shark, his ability to joke about and get people to laugh at anything, and his very distinct voice and way of talking that nobody could impersonate.

Cory is survived by his two children, Cory Jr. and Kassie; his grandchildren, Haizlie and Aliza; his sister Bernie; and many nieces and nephews.

He is proceeded in death by his parents, Bernard and Marian, his sister Jennifer, and his brother Harley.

Dad, you will always be the best dad and uncle ever. You gave us so many memories and stories we will carry and cherish, laugh and cry about forever. While it is one of the most painful things to do, we have to accept that our time with you is paused for now. And that you are returning home with our family that you've missed so much. We love you and will always hold you close in our hearts. Giizhawenamigoo, gigawaabamigoo miinawaa, Niigaanii-bines.

Services will be held at 10:00 A.M. on Monday, September 25, 2023 at Aazhoomog Community Center with Lee "Obizaan" Staples officiating.  Visitation will begin on Sunday, September 24 at dusk also at the center.   Burial will be at Stevens Lake Cemetery.
