Benjamin "Ben" George Korman

Benjamin George Korman, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully on March 8, 2026, in Arlington, Texas, at the age of 73. He lived courageously with Parkinson’s disease for 19 years.

Born on February 22, 1953, in Scranton, Pennsylvania, to Roman Korman and Anastasia Finiw Korman, Ben was raised with values of compassion, service, and perseverance that shaped his life. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Penn State and a master’s degree in social work from Louisiana State University.

For more than four decades, Ben worked as a clinical social worker, offering psychotherapy to children, adolescents, couples, families, and individuals. Known for his thoughtful guidance, steady presence, and genuine empathy, he maintained a successful private practice for over 25 years, dedicating himself to listening and supporting those in need. His commitment to service also led him to volunteer as a coach, referee, and board member with the Arlington Soccer Association and to serve on the North Texas Soccer Association disciplinary committee, where he championed fairness and mentorship.

Ben found joy in running local 5K and 10K races, competing in masters track meets, golfing, snow skiing, and playing the guitar. Yet his greatest devotion was to his family. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, and grandfather whose kindness, humor, and quiet strength remained the center of his world.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Roman and Anastasia Korman, and his brother, Myron Korman. Ben is survived by his wife of 46 years, Felicia Korman; his sons, Adam Korman and Daniel Korman and his wife Katy; and his cherished grandchildren, Alexandra, Roman, Kennedy, and Miles. His love, wisdom, and example will continue to live on through them and all the lives he touched.
