Benjamin "Benny" Carver

Benjamin (Benny) Franklin Carver of Garland, Texas went to be with his Lord and Savior on July 17, 2021. He will always be remembered as a loving husband, father, uncle, friend and his favorite title "Grampie". He was born August 2, 1938 to Fred & Stella Carver in Gorman, Texas.

Benny grew up in Bowie, Texas as the youngest of 8 children. In High School, he was a star basketball player. After graduating Benny moved to El Paso where he carried his athletic skills to play for the University of El Paso. Benny also served two years in the Army National Guard while attending UTEP. After college, he moved to Dallas and became an Engineer at Texas Instruments. He also met the love of his life, Mary Simmons after moving to Dallas. They married on July 8, 1972 and had 49 amazing years together. After working 40 years, Benny retired at the age of 62. He tried part-time jobs for a few years but decided that he really wanted to be retired. His backyard pool was calling his name and he answered. He loved to travel with Mary, sit for hours on the back patio baking in the sun, go camping with his family in Broken Bow and he was always up for spending time with his grandkids. He was a faithful member of New Liberty Baptist Church in Garland and volunteered once a week at Friendship House in Garland.

Benny is survived by wife, Mary Carver, son Scott Carver and wife Lisa of Flower Mound, Texas, daughter Stacey Boyd of Oak Point, Texas, daughter Kristi Hise and husband Ryan of Prosper, Texas.
