Ben Christopher “Chris” Stalker

Ben Christopher “Chris” Stalker, age 67, passed away peacefully on March 13, 2026. A resident of Marysville, OH, and formerly of West Chester, OH, Chris was the beloved husband of 40 years to Barbara (Kent) Stalker.

He was the loving father of Cole (Whitney) Stalker and Clayton “CJ” (Vincenza) Stalker, and the adoring grandfather of Wyatt and Cece. He is also survived by his siblings-in-law, Terry (Pam) Kent and Donna (Rich) Martin, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and many dear friends. Chris was preceded in death by his parents, Ben and June Stalker; his sister, Mary (Stalker) White; and his parents-in-law, Jim and Doris Kent.

An avid sports enthusiast, Chris’s passion for the game was naturally passed down to his sons. If he wasn’t coaching them, he was their biggest supporter on the sidelines. His commitment to youth sports was evident through his extensive involvement with the Morgan Ross Athletic Association (MRAA) and Ross Little Rams Football, where he served in numerous coaching and leadership roles.

In a final act of generosity, Chris selflessly donated his body for research to the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. The family wishes to express their deep gratitude for the exceptional care he received at The Ohio State Richard M. Ross Heart Hospital (Floor 6) and from Capital City Hospice.
