Ben Dakin Clendening III

Devoted Father, Heart of Gold

What Ben was like

Ben was a gentle and kind man, who I’m proud to call my son. He was an avid outdoorsman. He adored his family and his daughter, Olivia. He was a successful business owner. I’m sad for all of the memories that he won’t be making.

Fondest memories of Ben

My favorite memory of Ben was when he received a gigantic Christmas stocking, when he was a very young boy, and crawled side of it and laid under our Christmas tree! He said to “Fill er up!”

How Ben will be missed

I miss Ben’s actual presence, being able to hear his voice, hug, and kiss him. I miss his kind and gentle way of loving Olivia and the twinkle in his eye when he talked about his little girl.

How Ben will be remembered

Ben would like to be remembered as a kind and loving person, who would do anything that he could for his loved ones.
