It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of Brother Bruce E. Bennett, who transitioned to the Chapter Invisible on October 7, 2025.

The Maywood-Wheaton (IL) Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. remembers the life and legacy of our 11th Chapter Polemarch, Brother Bruce Bennett. Brother Bennett was a 1985 initiate of the Iowa City-Cedar Rapids (IA) Alumni Chapter. He was the true embodiment of a Kappa Man—steadfast in his commitment, leadership, and service—and he will be deeply missed.

Please keep his Silhouette and the entire Bennett family lifted in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Funeral and memorial arrangements will be shared once they become available

We lift his family in prayer and honor his legacy by observing a 30 day mourning period.
