Benjamin Richman

Ben was born in Boulder, Colorado, on November 4, 1997, and passed away in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on September 16, 2026.

Ben was gentle, loving, and kindhearted. He never judged others and rarely had a bad word to say about anyone. He had a natural way of making people feel comfortable and cared for, and he was always there when someone needed him, never asking for anything in return.

Ben loved the Yankees, fishing, his beloved dog, Brooke, and, of course, good food. He was a true foodie who loved discovering delicious meals and sharing them with the people around him. He was a New Yorker at heart and carried that spirit with him wherever life took him.

Ben attended the University of Colorado, where he earned a degree in Environmental Studies. After college, he followed his heart and chose a different path, one that allowed him to work with his hands, learn a trade, and build a future he could be proud of. He became a member of the Plumbers and Pipe Fitters Union Local 344 in Oklahoma City and took great pride in his work. His friends and coworkers knew him as dependable, hardworking, and someone who was always willing to lend a hand. He was a valued member of his team and took pride in doing his job well.

Above all, Ben was a person who cared deeply about others. He was a loving and devoted father figure, and his family meant everything to him. He had a big heart and a quiet strength, and he gave his love freely to the people in his life. His kindness, loyalty, humor, and willingness to be there for others made him someone truly special.

Ben is survived by Emalee, Parker, Jairah, Fox, Laetitia, George, Erin, Rachel, Matthew, Siena, Sean, Cole, Cameron, and Jack and Sharon Quigley, along with many other family members and friends who loved him dearly.

He was preceded in death by Geri Richman, Mary Pat Quigley, and Robert Richman.

Ben’s life was defined by love, kindness, hard work, and an unwavering willingness to be there for the people he cared about. Though his time with us was far too short, the love he gave and the memories he created will remain with those who knew him.

He will always be loved, deeply missed, and never forgotten.

Rest peacefully, Ben. You will be loved forever.
