Obituary:
Benjamin Alexander Richards, 73 of Bronx, New York, departed this life on February 9, 2025. Benjamin, affectionately called “Benji” by friends, was born on February 26, 1951 in Antigua, West Indies to the late Hermita and Emanuel Richards. He worked as a chef in the hotel industry for several years until he retired.
Benjamin was a loving, caring, and respectable man. He was more than just a parent to his children, but he was their best friend. He was a confidante, and a support system. He taught his children the importance of honesty and family. Benji had eyes to see but he often-times looked at the world with his heart. He enjoyed taking road trips to Manhattan, Pennsylvania, Miami; while listening to his favorite artist, Millie Jackson. He was a loving, generous and authentic person, and his impact on the lives of those who knew him is immeasurable.
He was a provider and devoted his life to caring for his beloved family. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Visitation will be held on Friday, March 28, 2025 from 4-6PM at the mortuary. Service of celebration will be held on Saturday, March 29, 2025, 12:00 Noon at Solid Rock United Methodist Church, 440 S. Kirkman Road, Orlando with Pastor Theo H. Jackson, officiating.
