Benjamin Denis Lyman, age 16, accidentally drowned on June 23, 2006. Ben is forever remembered by his father Scott M. Lyman, mother Kathleen I. Watson, and sisters Tiffany Lyman, Kristy Lyman, and Olivia S. Watson.

Ben was born in Layton, UT on May 19, 1990. He spent most of his childhood in Jackson Hole, WY and the last two years in Smithfield, UT. Benjamin was a very gifted artist, and had a knack for making people laugh. He spent most of his free time dirt biking and fixing up his car where he loved to listen to loud music.

He was very devoted to school athletics. He especially excelled in football helping bring the Jackson and Sky View teams to many wins. He was a gentle giant with a soft heart who could always lighten the mood.
