Ben was a longtime member of Cottage Hill Baptist Church and later Christ United Methodist Church, where he was a volunteer in the Lifegate Ministry. He was an avid sports fan, especially of the Alabama Crimson Tide football team. Ben was a proud grandfather and loved watching his grandchildren play soccer, baseball and softball. He loved to spend time with family and friends, whether traveling across the country to state parks or by hosting his famous Fourth of July barbecue. He truly enjoyed being outside and always had a beautiful yard filled with flowers. His gentle smile and loving heart will be greatly missed by many. The Caddell family would like to express many thanks to the staff at Mobile Nursing and Rehab and Kindred Hospice for the wonderful love and commitment to Mr. Ben Caddell Jr in his last years.
