Obituary

Benjiman "Benji" Alexander Melton, age 34, left his earthly life on Monday, March 6, 2023, which was way too soon. Benji was born January 23, 1989 in Wilmington, the son of Joseph James Melton and Wendy Delayne Reaves Melton.

Benji is survived by his loving family: his mother, Wendy; his father and stepmother, Joe and Tera Reese; his beloved brother, James Roland Melton; grandmother, Alma Jean Irving and her husband, Gil; aunt, Donna Jersey (Todd); uncle, Arnold "Bimbo" Melton (Kim); step brothers and step sister; cousins, Felicia, Haden, and Eli; many extended family and friends all who loved Benji.

Benji loved the outdoors and all of God's creations. Hiking and camping were several of many activities he enjoyed. Benji was a traveler - both in the United States as well as Europe and he enjoyed several cruises. Most recently Benji added woodworking to his accomplishments. Benji loved cooking, grilling for family and friends and the fellowship enjoyed on these occasions. Benji and his brother, James, shared a special relationship as they were not only brothers, but best friends.   As you can see Benji was a well-rounded young man. Benji's passing leaves a big vacant place in our family circle and in our hearts. Benji's love of life, laughter, family and friends will not be forgotten.
