Benjamin Dee Kendrick 

October 8, 1970 – September 24, 2026

Benjamin Dee Kendrick, 55, passed away on September 24, 2026. Born on October 8, 1970, he was charming and resourceful, with a sharp mind and a lasting love of music and art. He wrote and played throughout his life, and music remained a steady source of expression for him. He was also a talented artist who enjoyed sketching the coast, lighthouses, and buildings, capturing the places that drew his eye.

He served in the United States Navy and made friends around the world. He was loved by his family and will be deeply missed.

He is survived by his mother, two sisters, a brother, four nephews, a niece, two aunts, and several cousins.

In keeping with Benjamin’s wishes, he will be buried at sea in a private ceremony. There will be no other services.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Sierra Forever Families (ssyaf.org), the Tunnel to Towers Foundation (t2t.org), or a charity of your choice.
