LaRoy Benham

     Mr. LaRoy Benham, age 66, of Brandenburg, KY, passed away on Sunday, October 8, 2023, at Harrison County Hospital in Corydon, IN.  LaRoy was born January 12, 1957, the son of Nevitt Graham and Edith Mae (Alston) Benham.  He was very hard-working, passionate, fun-loving, and a jokester, who took pride in helping others.  He owned and operated D&L trucking for over 35 years.  He loved his job and was a great friend to many.  He never met a stranger.  He also enjoyed attending truck pulls, riding his four-wheeler, and was an avid deer hunter.  He spent countless hours working on his family farm, but most of all enjoyed spending time with his family.  In his own words, “It’s always something!”
