Benjamin William Burkholder passed away February 16, 2018 in Houston, TX. Ben was born March 26, 1994 in Houston, TX to parents Susan Dudrick and Bill Burkholder and was raised in Naugatuck, CT and Crosby and Houston, TX. He is survived by his mother, Susan Dudrick; his father, Bill Burkholder; sisters Genevieve and Alexx Guinn and Sylvie Burkholder; grandparents Dr. Stanley J. and Theresa Dudrick; and the Fogartys, who he called his family, including “brothers” Brady and Ryan Fogarty. Ben had a great love of video games, music, the outdoors, his family, friends and home. His smile and sense of humor will be missed by all. If love is measured in grief - his love and our love for him is immeasurable.
