Benjamin "Ben" Cole Underwood

Benjamin Cole Underwood first graced us with his presence on September 28, 1982 in Coldwater, KS. The second of three children, he always excelled at everything he did. From an early age he showed signs of greatness. His passion and compassion were unmatched. He was a very gifted musician, having devoted most of his life to music. Some of the many bands he played in were: the FOA, Foramen Magnum, the Romantz, Hillbilly Hooligans, Tash, Chris Aarons Band, Jukebox Casanova, Ghost Hollow Road, and so many others. He loved bringing joy to people through his music and no one was ever a stranger around him. His journey took him from Kansas to Texas to New Mexico and Illinois, eventually ending up back home.

He is survived by his parents, Jack Jr. and Crystal Underwood, brother Phillip (Michelle) Underwood, sister Kiley Underwood, his best homie and nephew Hudson Underwood, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and the numerous people he embraced as family that he met on this journey.
