He bravely served in the U.S. Army, enlisting in October 1975, and received an honorable discharge. One of the most precious moments in his life was the birth of his only child, a beautiful daughter named Tanisha Renay Price, who was the apple of his eye and a true daddy's girl.

He took immense pride in being a bricklayer's son, inheriting numerous labor skills from his father. Benjamin had a gift for connecting with people, and his warm smile, kind heart, and respectful nature made him a beloved friend to many.
