Benjamin “Ben” Michael Barry, age 19, departed this life on Friday, November 28, 2025. 

Born in Fullerton, California in 2006, Ben moved with his family to Parker, Colorado later that same year, where he spent his childhood and grew into the young man so many came to love.

He attended Legend High School, proudly graduating with the Class of 2024. 

Ben worked at Texas Roadhouse in Parker, where he served in multiple roles and formed lasting friendships. His coworkers and managers became an extended family to him, and his time there brought him pride, purpose, and joy. 

Throughout his life, Ben found happiness in the hobbies and communities he loved. He enjoyed playing video games with friends, spending time at the Flat Acres Farm airsoft field, and, more recently, discovering a passion for disc golf. Whether online or outdoors, he valued connection and teamwork. 

Ben is deeply loved and will be forever remembered by his parents, Tim and Ellie; his sister, Andie; his grandparents, Donna Barry and Andy and Linda Maass; his aunts and uncles, Donette Barry, Michael and Angela Barry, Meredith and Randy Carter, Adam Maass and Sean Nolan; and his cousins, Jarrett and Dalys Barry, Kiley and Garrett McNabb, Chase and Michelle Carter, Aiden Harris, Cody Carter, along with many extended family members. He is preceded in death by his aunt April Russell, his grandfather Michael Barry, and his grandmother Kathy Maass. 

A beautiful vigil was held in Ben’s honor at the Texas Roadhouse on Monday, December 1. His family extends heartfelt gratitude to the exceptional management and staff for lovingly creating a memorial that truly celebrated who Ben was. 

Ben’s life, though far too short, was filled with warmth, friendship, and a quiet strength that touched everyone around him. He will be dearly missed and forever cherished.
