Bentley M. Puckett (age 3) and Mason S. Puckett (age 1), beloved brothers from Greensboro, Maryland, passed away together on Sunday, June 29, 2025.
Bentley and Mason were the cherished sons of Michael S. Puckett and Amber R. Parenteau. Though their time here was far too short, they left an immeasurable impact on everyone who knew them.
These two sweet boys shared an unbreakable bond, always side by side in whatever adventure they could find. They loved anything outdoors — especially four-wheelers and dirt bikes — and if they had it their way, they would’ve ridden from sunup to sundown every single day. Their faces lit up with excitement any time they heard an engine start, and their joy was contagious.
Bentley and Mason brightened every room they entered with their infectious laughter, playful spirits, and unforgettable personalities. You never quite knew what was going to come out of their little mouths, but one thing was always certain — it would bring a smile.
In addition to their loving parents, Bentley and Mason are survived by seven adoring siblings: Hunter Parenteau, Hadley Parenteau, Kaylee Puckett, Mikey Puckett, Waylon Weaver, Nathan Puckett, and Sophia Puckett. They are also survived by their maternal grandmother, Eva Eason (and husband Marty); paternal grandparents, Paul and Patricia Puckett; great-great-grandmother, JoAnn Glanden; and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family members who will forever cherish their memory.
They were welcomed into heaven by their maternal grandfather, Eric Glanden; maternal great-grandfather, Lee Glanden; and paternal great-grandmother, Mary Brown — all ready to hold them in love until we meet again.
A visitation will be held on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 Noon at St. Luke’s Methodist Church, 100 S 5th Ave., Denton, MD. A memorial service will follow at 12:00 Noon. Interment will be private.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made directly to the funeral home to assist the family during this unimaginable time, Moore Funeral Home, P.A. 12 S. 2nd St. Denton MD 21629.
