Bennett went to the hospital in fall 2007 with severe back pains. He was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer that had spread to his bones. Doctors believed the cancer was environmentally caused, perhaps by exposure to some poisonous gas in the basement where he lived or poisons in the paints he used as a painter. Kerz said her son was a man with a great sense of humor and a very creative mind. He had an “electric intellect” who loved debating and watching Jeopardy！—a game show on TV and telling stories with his photographs. After Bennett died in May 2008, Kerz wanted to honor the creative spirit and generosity of her son, whose nickname was “Sy”. The result was Sys Fund, a Ramonabased allvolunteer national nonprofit that has fulfilled the wishes of more than 250 people aged 18 to 39 who are battling cancer. Sys Fund provides them with small gifts — such as laptops, cameras, guitar lessons, or printers — to lift their spirits and refocus their energies in a positive direction. The group raises money through three fundraisers each year, such as golf tournaments and 5K races. This year because of the COVID19, theyre trying a virtual fundraiser for the first time.
