In Loving Memory of
Benjamin Ray Capehart
July 14, 1987 - July 24, 2014
Our grandson
Benjamin Ray Capehart and his twin sister, Rachel, were born July 14, 1987 in Miles City, MT to Daniel and Virginia (Watson) Capehart. He died July 24, 2014 near Worden, MT in a tragic roll-over accident while driving his truck.
Ben spent much of his upbringing with his Papa Ronald and Grandma Frances. It was widely known that Papa was Bens' best friend.
From the time Ben was a small boy it was obvious he was unique. Ben had a love for history and amazed us all with his memory. Ben enjoyed classic movies, spending time with friends and family, having deep discussions, and sharing interesting facts. Ben was sometimes very quiet, often lost in his own little world, periodically speaking up just to share a random thought.
Ben was a very loving uncle and enjoyed every minute spent with his nieces and nephews. He had a heart of gold and loved his entire family very deeply, and loved with his entire heart. The great memories of Ben will always be in our hearts. He will forever be missed.
He was preceded in death by his Grandfathers "Papa" Ronald Reisdorph, Martin Ellis Capehart and Bud Watson. Ben is survived by his grandmothers, Frances Reisdorph, Zelda Capehart, and Grace Watson; his mother, Virginia Syring and father, Daniel Capehart; his twin sister, Rachel (Russell ) Passons and their three children Russell JR, Ariana and Annabelle; his sister Rebekah (Hank) Fraser and their four children Jordan, Hailey, Brayton, and Kason; his brother, Joseph Capehart and his son Ayden; his sister, Leah Loomis and her two children Emily and Alana; his sister, Tamala (Shawn) Oliver and their two children Tristan and Ann Marie and by many aunts, uncles, extended family and friends.
His funeral was held at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, July 29 at the Stevenson & Sons Funeral Home, Forsyth, MT with a graveside service following in the Forsyth Cemetery.
