Benjamin Huddleston, 49, of Lima, passed away on Sunday, September 22, 2024 at his home in Lima.

Benjamin was born on April 1, 1975 to the late Silous Walter Huddleston and Margie Ella (Shaner) Gannon. He grew up in Wapakoneta and as he got older found his passion as a tattoo artist. Before and after he had kids, he traveled to all different parts of the country before settling down in Lima. With his dad passing at a young age, Ben got very close with his step-dad Geno. Among other things, they enjoyed golfing and made sure to golf at least once a month.

Ben had many loves in his life from tattoo'ing, riding his Harley, to playing board and card games. His greatest love was his family and spending time with his grandkids. He was a big fan of the Bengals and impromptu get togethers and cookouts. It was normal for him to reach out to invite friends and family over and put something together with no planning.

Ben is survived by his mom, Margie Ella ( Earl "Geno") Gannon of Wapakoneta; children, Aubrey Granot of Wapakoneta, Renee' (Evan) Hooker of Lima, and Alex Huddleston of Lima; three grandchildren, Violet Granot, Brennan Schroer, and one on the way; two sisters, Michelle Huddleston of Wapakoneta and Nicole Gannon of Columbus. He was preceded in death by his father, Silous Huddleston.

There will be a visitation from 2:00-6:00 p.m. followed by his funeral at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, September 27, 2024 at Thomas E. Bayliff Funeral Home in Spencerville with Pastor John Buckland officiating. Thomas E. Bayliff Funeral Home in Spencerville is caring for Ben and his family.
