He was a graduate of St. Mark's School of Texas, earned his BS in Business from Lake Forest College and his MBA from SMU Cox School of Business.
Ben enjoyed pursuing new experiences and approached those experiences with passion. Scuba diving, bicycling and his motorcycle brought great joy, and there was a special place in his heart for the Dallas Cowboys!
Ben is survived by his parents, Cindy and Barry Zale, Mimi Johnson (Steve); siblings, Molly Oxman (Evan), Betsy Kraft (Tyler), Jourdan Goldstein and Taylor Goldstein; grandparents, Donald Zale, Bob Williams (Barbara), Phil Laquay; nieces Maggie Kraft, Lillia Fiorito; nephews Max Oxman, Jed Oxman, Oliver Kraft and Luke Fiorito.
He is preceded in death by his brother, Mathew Goldstein, grandparents, Barbara (Honey) Zale, Roland and Jean Fry and Carol Laquay.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Ben’s favorite, the SPCA of Texas or the charity of your choice.
