"Ben" found joy in the simple ways of life. He had an infectious smile and laugh. "Ben" had an unwavering faith in our Lord, Jesus Christ and leaves behind a legacy of the life he lived. He will be forever missed and unconditionally loved by all who knew him.

Those left to cherish "Ben's" memory include his three sons, Isaiah, Marshall, and Christopher Owen Baggett; one stepson, Timothy Spears; one sister, Danita Sonnier and husband Billy; one brother-in-law, Mike Fuselier; two special grandchildren, Danielle McDaniel and Michelle Vercher; and a host of other grandchildren, nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends.
