The family of Ben W. Headrick has asked the Patriot Guard to attend his services and honor him for his loyal service to our country. It is our privilege to do so.
Ben proudly served his country in the United States Navy. After the service he went to obtain his pilot's license so that he could fly for recreation. He also earned his BSN in nursing from the University of Wyoming.
Ben worked as a Registered Nurse for over 33 years in varies areas of the medical field. He and his wife later served as missionaries overseas. He also had a passion for fixing up classic cars and repairing old radios.
He was affectionately known as "Gentle Ben", because of his kindred spirit. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
Ben is survived by his wife, daughter and son.
