"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness. For His name’s sake." A Psalm of David 23:1-3

David was born in New Britain, CT, on March 22, 1953, and lived in Sacramento for half of his life. David was a hard-working, loving father and husband. He had recently retired from the Information Technology company he started over 30 years ago. David loved history and used this passion for teaching his children about world history and their family heritage, both here in the United States and in Panama. He hoped that sharing his knowledge and discussing history with his sons would help them become good citizens and men of God focused on doing good in the world.

David adored his children and was always very involved in all aspects of their lives, from academics to sports and other extracurricular activities. He always encouraged his children to be responsible, respectful and caring with everyone. David was not only a loving father but also Miriam’s best friend and loving husband, always supporting all her goals.

David was passionate about the wellbeing of children and supported children organizations, sponsoring four children in Brazil for 30+ years through Child Fund International.

At holidays and other family gatherings, David loved to discuss the many topics he was knowledgeable about and tell stories that would make his family and friends laugh.

A loving father and husband, David Charles Benham, was called to heaven on July 8, 2021.

David is survived by his wife, Miriam Benham; his son, Alexander Benham; his mother, Florence Benham; sister and brother-in-law, Karla and Jim Lindstrom; nieces and nephews, Emma and Jeff Sopko and Nancy and Ted Mathews. He is predeceased by his father, Charles Benham. His great love for his family will forever be missed and remembered.

David nació en New Britain, Connecticut, el 22 de marzo de 1953, y vivió en Elk Grove durante la mitad de su vida. David era un padre y esposo trabajador y amoroso. Recientemente se había retirado de la empresa de Tecnología de la Información que comenzó hace más de 30 años.  David amaba la historia y usó esta pasión para enseñar a sus hijos sobre historia mundial y familia, tanto aquí en los Estados Unidos como en Panamá. Esperaba que compartir su conocimiento y hablar de eso con sus hijos los ayudaría a convertirse en buenos ciudadanos y hombres de Dios enfocados en hacer el bien en el mundo.

David adoraba a sus hijos y siempre estuvo muy involucrado en todos los aspectos de sus vidas, desde lo académico hasta deportes y otras actividades extracurriculares. Siempre le inculco a sus hijos a ser responsables, respetuosos y cariñosos. David no solo fue un padre amoroso, sino el mejor amigo de su esposa Miriam, siempre apoyando todos sus metas y anhelos.

David era devoto al bienestar de los niños y apoyó a organizaciones infantiles, patrocinando a cuatro niños en Brasil durante más de 30 años a través de Child Fund International.

Durante las vacaciones y otras reuniones familiares, a David le encantaba discutir los muchos temas que conocía y contar historias que harían reír a su familia y amigos.

I’ve known David for over 20 years, we explored much of the West together, the past 11 or 12 years, we kept up with each other online. David was a genuinely good man and about the proudest father I’ve ever known. His passing in such a tragic way has left a hole in my heart, the above Biography seems quite accurate and my prayers are for Miriam and Alexander.

I was fortunate to know David first as a colleague in Unify and then as a partner in our business venture together… He will be missed as a friend, that we shared from last 21 odd years…Dave was a great thinker and philosopher and loved to solve complex problems with out of box solutions. A brilliant man, a great friend and business partner… heartfelt condolences to Miriam and Alex…

David was a colleague for almost 15 years. I considered him a mentor. I loved talks we had on all kinds of topics, always impressed by his intellect and knowledge. He was a great father. We had plans to visit an event together later this year, and I was looking forward to seeing him. I will miss David. My deepest condolences to Miriam and Alex.
