Benjamin (Ben) Wesley Brackney , 34, of Oak Grove, Kentucky, was born on November 13, 1989 in Charlotte, Michigan. He passed away April 5, 2024 in Bowling Green, Kentucky at the Hospice of Southern Kentucky after a severe illness of PML.

Ben is survived by his adoptive parents, Kevin E. Brackney of Swanton, Ohio and Victoria Brackney of Delaware, Ohio, Grandmother, Millie Stockwell of Hot Springs, Arkansas, Sisters Erin (Joseph) Papp of Sunbury, Ohio and Penny (Matthew Love) Brackney of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Ben is also mourned by Nikki Rouse-Inman, Nathan Palmer, Elizabeth Manners and his five nieces and six nephews, numerous cousins, aunts, and uncles and a large extended family.

Ben attended school in Michigan at Howell, Onsted, and Clare  high schools and graduated as a member of the class of 2010. Ben, known for his kind and generous nature, his sense of humor, creativity and his deep love for his family will be missed by all who knew him.

One of Ben greatest joys was his dogs. He learned to love dogs and care for them from his early childhood on the farm in Charlotte, Michigan where he helped his Dad with the sheep and Australian shepherds, that they raised and showed at county and state fairs. That travel gave Ben wanderlust and he traveled to many places in his short life. Ben's other hobbies included fishing and working on cars. He found joy in these activities and shared his interests with those around him.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at a later date to honor and remember Ben Brackney. May his memory live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
