Johnny E Bender

Johnny Bender, 57, of Varysburg, passed away on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at his home.

Johnny was born on February 7, 1969, in Buffalo, to Donald Bender and Rose Marie (Sellers) Lindell.

He was a talented guitarist whose love for music was evident to anyone who heard him play. His guitar was never far from reach. Music wasn't just a hobby - it was part of who he was. He also had a passion for dirt bikes, finding freedom and excitement on every ride. The roar of an engine and the open trail brought him pure joy.

His love for music and dirt biking reflected his spirited nature - full of energy, heart, and a deep appreciation for the moments that made life meaningful

He is survived by his mother, Rose Marie Lindell; siblings, Tammy T. Smith and Francesco "Frank" Frontera; nephews, Corey Frontera, Jacob Frontera, Matthew Smith, Brandon Smith, Melmoth Smith, and Martin Woodham.
