October 3, 2007 - July 17, 2020

Joseph ''Ben'' Benjamin Gore, son of Heidi Ripper Gore and Jody Gore, was born October 3, 2007, and passed away Friday, July 17, 2020 at Arkansas Children's Hospital at 10:20 P.M.

On friday night, Ben left his earthly body to start on a new journey in the arms of Jesus. He has joined that host of heavenly choir. We imagine Ben running on the streets of gold with his two siblings that we never got to see or hold. Ben loved music so his voice up there is probably louder than the other Angels. If you knew Ben, you loved him! His beautiful little smile would light up the room. He loved to watch The Price is Right, Pitch Perfect, Sponge Bob, and lately Hair Spray. He loved Lady Gaga! He loved to hear the Reverend Play his guitar and sing to him. Kathy Davis was a hit when she played her guitar and sing to him. Sissy (Charity) sang and played for him. He loved riding the side by side, laughing when we passed big 18-wheelers, and playing with his Aunt Wee Wee.

Ben was preceded in death by grandmother, Laurie White, great-grandparents, Barbara Halbert White and Harold Ripper,Sr, and great-great-grandparents, Earl & Imogene Gore.

Ben is survived by his parents and little brother, Luke, of the home. Grandparents, Bobby Lindsey, Harold and Peggy Ripper, Douglas and Lynn Gore, great-grandparents, Billy and Ora Lee Lindsey, Thelma Ripper and Lenon White, Aunts and uncles, Kim (NoNo0 and Charles Baker, Lindsey (WeeWee) and Chris Martin, Cody and Sherry White. Ben is also survived by a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Family wishes to thank everyone that has prayed, texted, called, came by, and gave words of encouragements. We thank Dr. Brown and the staff of Arkansas Children's Hospital for the care and compassion they showed Ben and our family.
