Benjamin Matthew Clemons

Benjamin Clemons Obituary
Ben was an excellent carpenter his whole life. Starting at a very young age, he perfected his craft, working with his father, whom he admired and looked up to. He loved working with wood and epoxy, and built some amazing works of art over the years. Ben also loved music. He could tell you the name and song title from many different genres, and whether you wanted to hear about it or not, he would tell you back stories behind different songs and their artists. His intelligence level was show cased most in this area of life. He loved reading and learning about the civil war, and resonated deeply with the stories and his own ancestral lineage. Ben was affiliated with Crossroads Baptist Church of Fincastle, where his father, Pastor Elmer Clemons preaches. Ben was a saved Christian, and was firm in his beliefs about his lord and savior Jesus Christ. Ben was a beautiful person inside and out; and IS, and ALWAYS will be, loved and adored by many. His sense of humor could heal a nation. He loved all aspects of nature, and most importantly, he loved his family. He was the baby of five siblings, and was a mama’s boy. He was a beloved husband, and had a unique love and bond with all three of his step children. He loved his biological daughter with his whole heart and soul. He loved his brothers and sister more than they knew, and cared deeply for all of his nieces and nephews, and extended family. His absence is truly felt amongst every life he has ever touched, and he will be greatly missed.

He is preceded in death by Maternal grandparents Howard and Irene Weddle, Paternal grandparents Elbert Clemons and Kate Sink, sister Stacy Clemons, and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.

He is survived by mother and father Linda and Elmer Clemons, wife Julia Clemons, daughter Elisabeth “Libby” Anne Clemons, step children Mariah, Ellowyn, and Jacob Crowe, sister Tracy Powell (husband Randy), brother Tim Clemons (wife Molly), brother Joshua Clemons, brother John Clemons, and numerous aunts, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
