Benjamin Tyson Honaker

Benjamin Tyson Honaker passed away unexpectedly on June 22nd 2023 at the age of 42. Ben was raised in Ronceverte WV and was very passionate about everything he did. He was a member of the Trinity United Methodist Church in Ronceverte and loved to help coach kids in any sport. Benjamin was always two steps ahead of everyone, with his quick wit and he could have sold rocks with his silver tongue. He was very outgoing and loved to be the center of the room. He was hard-headed with tons of dreams that he unfortunately didn't get a chance to fulfill.
Benjamin loved life, his family and children, the New York Jets (always hopeful that this would be their year). Ben's favorite color was blue and he loved his fitted hats (Lids), looking and smelling nice, and he had a smile that lit up a room. His laugh and passionate self will forever be missed.
Ben graduated from Greenbrier East in 1998 and believed there was nothing he couldn't do. He was ready to tackle any building project and was anxious to start working in his new plumbing profession (he had recently received his certification and couldn't wait to pursue it).
Those left to forever miss him are his wife - Lena Hardiman Honaker (Fairlea), his step children - Season Raine and Ayden Hardiman, and daughters Everlea Frances (Trish Tolliver) and Mila Rose (Madonna Hughart)(Wht Sul Spr), his mother Melanie Miller Lampkin (Wht Sul Spr) and his beloved Aunt Tricia Mitchell (Mark) (Pmbk Pines, FL and Lewisburg), his 1/2 brother Zackary Honaker (Fort Walton Bch, FL) and step sister Andrea Panther (Covington, VA), as well as step brother Steven Damon (Lewisburg) and step sister Kizzy Damon (Roanoke) and Aunt Debra Ramsey (Lewisburg) as well as Uncles Delbert "BooBoo" Honaker (Karen) (Centreville, VA), John "Bucky" and Cheyenne Honaker (Glace, WV) and Melvin "Teedy" Honaker (Ronceverte), and many neices, nephews and cousins with a special fondness for cousin Becky Daniels (Kendrick Carter) (Wht Sul Spr).
The Angels waiting to greet Benjamin are his baby son Bishop, his Great Grandmother Frances Hellems (Ronceverte), Nana Dorothy Miller (WSS), Grandparents Patricia and Leonard Honaker Sr (WSS), Father Leonard H Honaker Jr (Ft Walton Bch, FL), Uncle Larry "King" Honaker, Aunts Cathy Martin (Lewisburg) and Linda Honaker (Ronceverte).
It is only knowing that God has taken Benjamin to do His Holy work now from Heaven, that is giving comfort to his family.
