Benedict Charles Sadler was born on April 8, 1981 to William H. and Lani Moore Sadler, the last of 12 children. His devoted family welcomed him to Magna, Utah with open arms and loving hearts. Ben attended St. Francis Xavier Catholic School and graduated from Judge Memorial Catholic High School with the Class of 1999. He attended Mass at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Magna alongside his faith-filled family, where God came first. Ben lived in Magna most of his life until he moved to Grantsville, Utah in 2016. For the last eight and a half years he was employed by MOOG, Inc. as lead senior quality inspector.
The brightest light in Ben’s life was his daughter, Grace Milana Sadler (Stephanie Howard Sadler is her mother). He loved his “beautiful amazing Grace” with his whole heart and would sacrifice anything for her happiness. Ben and Grace spent many happy hours with his sweetheart, Cynthia Thomas, at their home tending to the garden, and chasing the chickens, ducks and goats in the “petting zoo.” They enjoyed riding their ATVs in the Stansbury Mountains.
Ben was blessed to be able to travel the world with his parents, visiting 16 different countries, including the Vatican. As an adolescent Ben was an exceptional baseball player and pitched for Judge Memorial CHS. Dad was a consummate gentleman and Ben became the same by watching him. As he got older, Ben and his beloved Mother became “kitchen buddies.” Mom was a first-class cook and the two enjoyed cooking together – Mom especially delighted in Ben’s smoked cuisine and grilling skills. We still don’t understand their fascination with kale, though.
Ben never lacked in love and attention; as he grew up, his 10 siblings taught him how to walk and talk, how to count and recite his ABCs, how to hold a rosary “properly,” how to dribble, how to dance, how to catch a fish and track a deer, how to ride a bike and a horse, and how to throw a punch. His doting siblings are Mark W. Sadler; Paul L. Sadler+ (Ruby); Pamela Corisis (David); Janice Reading; Patricia Obrys (Joseph); James A. Sadler+ (Janet); Camille Hartley (Greg); Michael P. Sadler (Marie); Adam D. Sadler (Sandra); John Thomas Sadler+; and, Mary Margret Fadel+. Ben had many nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly.
A funeral Mass was celebrated March 25 at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church.
