2nd ANNUAL MACK
STRONG
June 5th & 6th, 2026
Benjamin “Ben” Mack, beloved husband, father, and friend, passed away on Saturday, the 26th of April, at the age of forty-five, following a courageous battle with cancer. He was surrounded by the love of his family and the enduring spirit he shared with all who knew him.
Ben lived a life defined by kindness, humor, and an unwavering belief in the goodness of people. A devoted husband to Jess and a proud father to their three beautiful children, Larkin, Ollie, and Finn. Ben approached every challenge with strength, grace, and an infectious positivity that lifted those around him.
A diehard fan of the Cincinnati Reds and Bengals, the NC State Wolfpack, and kids’ sports, and a lover of animals and classic rock music, Ben’s generosity, humor, joyful spirit, and radiant smile left a mark on every person he met, from close friends to complete strangers.
Ben had a larger-than-life presence and a gift for making people feel seen and appreciated. His family finds solace knowing that his light lives on in his children and in the countless lives he touched. That was how Ben lived, and how he hoped we all would carry on.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Celebrate the life of Ben Mack.
