LITTLEMAN, Benjamin Kee (Sonny Boy)

The White Mountain Independent, Show Low, Arizona ~ 12/11/2015 Benjamin Kee Littleman, also known as “Sonny Boy” or “Son,” went home to be with the Lord Dec. 3, 2015. He was born Dec. 30, 1988. He is survived by his mother, Jamesa Cruz; brother Justin Littleman; godsisters Kimberly Lee and Nicholette Cheney; grandmothers Justina Foster, Daisy Littleman and Helen Fall; grandfathers Abraham Fall and Minor Fall Sr.; godmother Linda Baha; aunties Glenda Massey, Jeanette Kindelay, Cherlyn Foster, Teola Paxson and Irmalin Fall; and uncles Ricardo Kindelay and Starling Cheney Jr. Ben was a kind, outgoing, loving, sweet and giving person. He helped his mom with household chores. He loved fishing, video games and being with his family and friends but most of all his cats. He attended Seven Mile Elementary School and is a proud Cardinal graduate of John F. Kennedy School. His favorite holiday was Halloween. Like all kids, he collected his own candy and was very appreciative of it. As he got older, passing out candy he didn’t give out one or three candies but a handful of candy per child. That was satisfying to him. Since Ben was a child, one of the excitements that stuck with him was his mother’s payday. He would wash his clothes and the house was already clean. That payday morning he was already ready to head out. Benjamin was preceded in death by his father, Ben Littleman, grandfathers Pastor Tracy Foster and Pastor Kee Littleman. “Ben (Sonny Boy), you will dearly be missed. We all love you so much and you will always be in our hearts.” A one-night wake will start at 9 a.m. Friday, Dec. 11, at 248 Bear Canyon Road in Canyon Day. Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 12, at the Canyon Day Miracle Church. Silver Creek Mortuary of Whiteriver handled arrangements.
