Benjamin Paul Davies
Born: May 10, 1977
Died: March 12, 2026


Benjamin Paul Davies, 48, was born on May 10, 1977 and passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on March 12, 2026, due to internal bleeding.

Benjamin was born in Salt Lake City, Utah to Paul and Diane Davies of Tooele, Utah.
He attended Tooele High School with the class of 1995.

In 2012, Ben made the choice to make a positive change in his life. He worked to earn his CDL license and made a living “looking out the window.” Ben enjoyed life on the road as a truck driver, traveling across the country. He loved road trips and the freedom of the open highway.

Ben had a love for shoes and sunglasses and would always make a purchase with every paycheck. He enjoyed spending time outside. He especially enjoyed sitting outside, in his porch swing watching the quails and hummingbirds. A true animal lover, he cared deeply for all animals and had a special place in his heart for his dogs and chickens.

He also enjoyed playing pool, and was an exceptional player of the game. He treasured the time spent playing and learning the game with his Grandpa Joe and his father, Paul.

Benjamin had a strong work ethic, and showed constant dedication to his family. Ben was known for his endless kindness, his loud and joyful laugh, and the way he could make others smile. Ben loved long conversations over coffee, but more than anything, he loved his family.

Ben’s love for his mother, Diane, had no limits. She was his closest friend, confidant, and biggest supporter throughout his life. Diane’s unwavering love, strength, and guidance helped shape the man Ben became. He was deeply grateful for her and the constant care and encouragement she gave him. Ben often spoke of how much she meant to him, and the bond they shared was truly special. His life was richer because of her love, and he never missed an opportunity to show his appreciation for her.

He never missed a chance to tell his siblings how proud he was of them and how much he loved them. No goodbye was complete without one of Ben’s big hugs. He touched many lives and will be deeply missed.

Ben is survived by his parents, grandmother, Patricia Gonzales (Tooele), his brothers Nicholas, Daniel, and Anthony. His sisters-in- law Natalie and Tiffany. His four nephews (Ethan, Damon, Jaxon, and Dawson). His nieces Chloe (Shane) Marsing, Phoebe, and Daphne Davies, and many uncles, aunts, and cousins whom he loved and cherished.
