Benjamin Michael Latham

October 6, 1994 – March 14, 2025

Benjamin Michael Latham, 30, of Washington, NC, passed away on Friday, March 14, 2025, at ECU Medical Center in Greenville, NC. A celebration of Ben’s life will be held at a later date.

Ben was born on October 6, 1994, in Oxford County, Maine, the son of Edward William Latham III and Bunny Kai Knox Pounds. Following his formal education, Ben pursued a career as an engineering designer, while also contributing to the family businesses, Kona Ice and Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee of Greenville, NC.

Ben had a passion for many things—tinkering, 3D printing, gaming, designing, music, and cooking. He was known for his selflessness, creativity, and his ability to bring light into the lives of those around him. Even on the darkest of days, Ben could always be counted on for love, support, and laughter. His ability to approach life with humor, strength, and a unique problem-solving mindset was unmatched. Ben cherished his time with family and friends, and his love was as boundless as his talents. He was also deeply committed to giving back, proudly becoming an organ donor to help others.

Ben is survived by his mother and stepfather, Bunny and Jim Pounds of Washington; his father, Edward William Latham III of Milbridge, Maine; his siblings, Jeremy Latham and his wife Shazmay of Raleigh, J.D. Pounds of Washington, and Noah Pounds of Washington; his paternal grandparents, Ed and Kathy Latham of St. Agatha, Maine; his maternal grandparents, Ken and Cathy Knox of Pittsfield, Maine; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial contributions be made to the Benjamin Latham Memorial Fund.

Paul Funeral Home & Crematory of Washington, NC is honored to serve Ben's family.
