- Obituary:
Benjamin "Ben" Douglas Remington, 36, went to be with his Lord and Savior June 11, 2013, following a courageous battle with cancer and a stem cell transplant.
Ben was born June 30, 1976, to Bonnie Wehde Saenz and Douglas Remington in Alta, Iowa. He attended grade school In Cherokee, Iowa, and completed his high school education in Brush, Colorado.
In 1996, Ben moved to Colorado Springs where he met and married his wife of 13 years. Ben and his family resided in Colorado Springs for the next 10 years. Ben was co-owner of Full Armor Construction in Colorado Springs and employed by Direct TV in Hawaii.
Ben dedicated his life to his family, friends and relationship with the Lord. He was a self proclaimed "Jesus Freak." Ben demonstrated his love for Jesus Christ by facilitating men's groups, by volunteering his time, testament, and talents, by investing in relationships and by spreading God's Word.
Ben used his God-given talents and passion for helping others on mission trips to Mexico and Mississippi. His love for the Lord was contagious. Ben's kind, gentle, loving spirit drew others to him and allowed him to share what the Lord had done in his life. As a testament to his obedience, Ben moved his family to Hawaii in 2010 where God continued to minister in and through him.
In November 2012 Ben learned his cancer had returned. He moved to Phoenix to begin treatment at the Mayo Clinic with the support of his parents who both resided there. Ben lost his courageous battle, while in remission from Lymphoma, to complications from a stem cell transplant.
Ben is survived by his wife Suzy, son Gage, daughters Acenia and Zalina, sister Brooke Remington of Colorado Springs, parents Bonnie and Paul Saenz of Maricopa, Arizona, and Doug and Cindy Remington of Prescott Valley, Arizona, mother-in-law Diane Roybal, in-laws Lina and Jeremiah, Mona and Tim, nieces Taea, Mya, and nephew Elijah, grandparents Emelda and Barry, as well as extended family and friends.
Ben is preceded in death by grandparents Gus and Marcella Wehde of Early, Iowa, and Earl and Dorothy Remington of Arapahoe, Nebraska.
A celebration of Ben's life will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 29, 2013, at Rocky Mountain Calvary Chapel, 4285 N. Academy Blvd, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80918. There will be a time of fellowship following the service. The family requests casual (jeans, shorts, t-shirts, flip flops) or Hawaiian attire.
