Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 28, at Grace Baptist Church, 312 E. 9th St., Marshfield. Pastor Gary Holloway will officiate. A visitation will be held from 9 a.m. until the time of services at the church. Burial will be at Barnes Memorial Cemetery, Barnes, on Thursday.

In Lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Benjamin’s name to “New Tribes Mission” for the “Asia-Pacific Flight Subsidy.”
