Bendigo Brister

Bendigo Brister, 40, passed away on June 18, 2023, in Kennewick, Washington. He was born on June 16, 1983, in Alturas, California. Ben was a shy and reclusive individual, but those who knew him well appreciated his kind, funny, and sarcastic personality. Ben worked as a truck driver for the last 15 years, and he was proud of the work he did. He enjoyed the solitude of the open road and the freedom that came with his job. Ben is survived by his father and step-mother, Wes and Tinka Brister, his mother, Penny, his twin sister, Stephanie and nephew Jonathan, and his half-siblings, Debra and Cheryl. His family and friends are located all over the country, so no services are planned at this time. Instead, they ask that you share your memories of Ben as they know he was a private person, and they would love to hear your stories about him.
