Ben had a heart of gold and was very generous with anyone who needed a helping hand or a sympathetic ear to listen. After a long day of working cattle and it was time to eat lunch he would make sure his coworkers had enough to eat before he took any food or if someone had car trouble he didn’t hesitate to help. These are just a couple examples of his generosity. He also loved being a son, dad, grandpa,brother and uncle.
Ben’s passions were hunting and looking for shed horns or just being in the outdoors. His talents were doing beautiful wood work and awesome drawings.

Ben, oh Ben! My heart is broken that you are gone so soon! You are like another son! You, Beezer and Josh, what a crew you all were growing up together! What one didn’t think of, the other one did! You were a special part of our family! I could see so much God given talent in you! It was always fun visiting with you! You were always willing to help me out with anything after Ron passed! Never had to worry about that! You are going to be greatly missed!💔

Oh Ben. I remember when you were a toughnut little boy, but moved away before getting to watch you grow. It sounds like you lived quite a full life in your cut too short years.
I’m sure your Dad has you working the herd and fixing fence up in Heaven already, side by side with him.
Sending my love and prayers to your kids, Aunt Linda, and all my Young cousins. May you find peace in every memory and solace in knowing how much Ben was loved by so many.
