Klee Benally 1975 – 2023

It’s with heavy hearts that we send our condolences Princess Benally, the wife of the late Klee Benally, and the Tódích’íi’nii family of Tsé Azhooshyaachii’, AZ. Journey well nihinálí Klee Benally. In his time on this Earth, Klee served as a warrior and left a legacy. We were happy to be in a virtual meeting with him recently; he sounded/appeared well and happy, and that will be our memory of him.
