Ben has always lived in Williamsburg and was in the first graduating class at Bruton High School. He also attended Radford College. A proud native of Williamsburg, he became one of the youngest licensed master plumbers in the area and went on to build a respected career spanning over many years.

Ben was an excellent athlete growing up. He excelled in baseball and wrestling and enjoyed a round a golf every once in a while.

Ben was best known for his unwavering passion for hunting. An exceptional huntsman with a particular love for duck hunting, he was known by many as the local "Duck Commander." His enthusiasm extended to an impressive Ducks Unlimited collection of waterfowl prints and carvings-treasures that spoke to his reverence for nature and tradition.

Ben's love for the outdoors was matched only by his devotion to his Black Labrador Retrievers-Major, Ranger, Deke, and Otis. He trained each one with care and shared a profound bond with them throughout the years. These loyal companions were more than pets; they were part of his family.

He is survived by his mother, Selma S. Lindsay; sister Cindy MacDougall (Dave); nephew Gil Owens Jr. (Regina); nieces Kristen Owens and Tiffany L. Weaver (Shane); nephew Jason Lindsay (Michelle); as well as many great-nieces and nephews and one great-great-nephew.

Though he acknowledged life's regrets-as most do-Ben often expressed how much he enjoyed the life he lived. He followed his passions wholeheartedly and left behind memories that will be cherished by those who knew him.
