Benjamin Withers
November 28, 1957 - May 9, 2020

Benjamin Henry Withers of Colfax, Iowa passed away on Saturday May 9, 2020. Ben was born to Patricia and Henry Withers. He was the eldest child, and only brother to his sisters Marvlyn, Michelle and Merilee. Ben took his role as oldest seriously, he protected his sisters and would help them if they called day or night. He had a natural talent for getting on your nerves, then have you laughing shortly after.

Anyone who knew Ben, knew of his sometimes-inappropriate sense of humor, his captivating storytelling, and his big heart. Ben would be the first to help-out a friend in need. Most often, Ben could be found strumming his guitar - sometimes following the sheet music, but more often playing how he thought the song should go, listening to live music or working on his beloved '57 Chevy.

Ben is proceeded in death by his parents, Pat and Henry Withers, and is survived by his sisters, and his three children: Michelle (Brad Parsons), Jake Withers, Andrea (Cole Horsman) and their close friend Charles. ~ The Coburn Funeral Home, Colfax, Iowa ~ 09 May 2020.
