Benjamin was born on January 16, 1936 in Sneedville, Tennessee. After graduating high school Benjamin joined the United States Army where he served his country in Vietnam, Hawaii and Germany.

Benjamin served his country with honor and was the epitome of the military man. A devoted provider, he worked hard his entire life to take care of his family. He was a very generous person and enjoyed helping others. Always having the most beautiful yard in the neighborhood, Benjamin loved to garden and build things, crafting anything he set his mind to. He will forever be remembered by those who loved him as someone who stood up for others and was always willing to volunteer and lend a helping hand.

A special thanks goes to his care-takers Joanne Rhodes, Nikki Montreal and Keith Montreal who filled his last days with fun, love and laughter.
