Benjamin Canaday Obituary
Benjamin will be so very missed by his family and three daughters. Ben will never be forgotten for the fun loving person that he was. He enjoyed fishing, camping and riding street bikes. Ben also had a love for doves. He would always say "Fly birdie, fly." So we say to you Benjamin, you got your wings, and fly high until we see you again.
Survived by mother Ann Blake and stepdad Richard Blake, three daughters; Courtney, Brittney and Maddy Canaday and sister Jennifer Scott, brother Howard Brown and many more loved ones.

My sweet Benjamin! I was so heartbroken when I heard of your passing. You suffered for 8 long years after your accident. Your beautiful mother gave every last bit of her strength and love to take care of you. God knew she and your family needed time to come to terms with you going to heaven. When you were little, your sweet little smile would light up the room. You were such a loving little boy who grew up to be a loving son, father, husband and friend. Everybody loved you. You were to good for this world, Ben! You mother, Jenny, Howard and your beautiful girls and everybody that loved you will miss you terribly until the day we see you in heaven. God bless you, Ben! I love you, my sweet nephew!!
