Thomas Alexander Benjamin, 43, of Columbus, Ohio Passed peacefully on June 21, 2024.  

Thomas, also known as “Tommy”, was born on February 7, 1981 in Columbus, Ohio. 

Thomas was preceded in death by his father, Alexander Benjamin.

As a young man, Thomas was employed at the Ohio State University for many years. Everyone knew Thomas wasn’t man of many words. He was very quiet in his nature. One of his most enjoyable things to partake in was watching football games. His favorite team of course was the Ohio State Buckeyes. 

Thomas cherished spending time with his family, especially his mother, daughter and granddaughter. 

Thomas enjoyed jerk chicken, Jamaican style, and it was one of the many dishes that his dad prepared when he was a young child. He was a person that everyone had nothing but good things to say about him. He definitely was loved by many.

 Rest in Heaven, Thomas Alexander Benjamin, your spirit will continue to be with us, and your memory will live in our hearts forever.
