Dr. Paul F. Benien, Jr. February 17, 1940-November 11, 2020 Paul Benien, Jr., 80, of Oklahoma City finished his course and went to be with the Lord Jesus on November 11, 2020. Paul was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma to Dr. Paul F. Benien and Kay Fandel on February 17, 1940. He attended Cascia Hall High school where he excelled as a star athlete and was awarded a full-ride scholarship to play football at The University of Oklahoma. He went on to receive his medical degree from the College of Osteopathic Medicine in Des Moines, Iowa in 1966, which became one of his greatest passions in life because he lived his life to help other people. Dr. Benien served as a Captain in the US Army Medical Corps during the Vietnam War from 1967-1970 and was awarded a Bronze Star for his service. He then completed his residency in general surgery at The Dallas/Fort Worth Medical Center by 1974. He also served 2 terms on the Oklahoma State Board of Osteopathic Examiners after being appointed by Governor Walters and Governor Keaton. He was known and loved by everyone he met because of his kindness and desire to help others. He lived a full life, was happily married, and loved his family. And yet, through all these things, his motivation for life was his love for the Lord Jesus and considered everything a loss to the surpassing greatness of knowing Jesus Christ his Lord. Paul was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Kay; brother, John; and son, Fred. Paul is survived by his wife, Bonnie; daughters, Mary Benien and Nancy Elix of Tulsa, Christy Bell, Charlotte Drabek, and Alanna Peebles of Oklahoma City; 16 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.
