In loving memory of Ben Newhouser. It is with the heaviest hearts that we share his passing on Saturday, August 8th.

Ben was truly one of a kind. He lived hard, loved deeply, and protected the people he cared about. He was known for being one of a kind-never pretending to be anyone other than himself. His circle was small, but the people in that circle meant everything to him.

For 22 years, Ben shared his life with Amanda. Together they built a life, a family, and countless memories that will forever be cherished. His love for his family was at the center of everything he did.

His daughter, Makayla, was his world. Their bond was incredibly special, and being her dad was one of the greatest parts of Ben’s life.

Whether you knew him for years or crossed paths with him only once, he had a way of leaving an impression. He created genuine connections with so many people and will be remembered for his loyalty, his honesty, his big personality, and the way he protected the people he loved.

We are broken, and we are forever sad that Ben is no longer here with us. There are no words to truly express how deeply he will be missed.

But we will never forget the love he had for us. We will carry that love, his memories, his stories, and everything that made him Ben for the rest of our lives.

Ben leaves behind his beloved significant other, Amanda, daughter McKayla, his sisters Alyssa and Andrea, his brother Bill, nieces Fiona, Margo, and Phoebe, and nephew Ryker, along with many extended family members and friends who will forever miss him.

His life was lived his way.

His circle was small.

His love was deep.

His heart was loyal.

And he was truly one of a kind.
