Benjamin Gordon Hair of Stony Point, the son of Brenda and Gordon Hair, perished tragically in a traffic accident on Sunday, December 13, 2009.
He was born in Olney, Maryland, on December 28, 1988. Ben attended schools in Maryland until the family moved to Albemarle County in 2001. He graduated from Albemarle High School with honors, and would have graduated with his class at Virginia Tech in May 2010.
Ben was a swimmer and competed in YMCA meets in Maryland and was an accredited Life Guard, working mostly at the Meade Avenue pool and the University of Virginia Aquatics and Fitness Center.
Ben participated in the Boy Scouts of America program from the time he was a Tiger Scout until he became an Eagle Scout in 2006.
Ben was predeceased by his paternal grandparents, Merle and Mary Hair of Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and his maternal grandfather, George M. Graves.
He is survived by his loving parents, Brenda and Gordon Hair; his maternal grandmother, Joan Graves; his aunts, Thais Hair, Donna Fredrick, Stacey Liljegren and Valerie Roadman, his cousin, John, who was more like a brother, and and a great-uncle, Julian R. Graves of Charlottesville.
Ben will be missed by his extended family, myriad friends and co-workers. He will continue to serve his community by his expressed wish to be an organ donor where at least 100 patients will benefit from his gift.
