Benjamin Fike Wagner

Ben is survived by his wife of 20 years, Michelle Wagner; son, Roman Wolfgang Wagner; daughter, Lauren Lauterbach Wagner; mother, Mary Lauterbach Wagner; father, Dr. Grant Hulse Wagner and wife Carol Wagner; siblings, Hulse Wagner and wife Sherri; Dottie Wagner and husband Mike Hutchins; Jean Wagner and husband Bernie Rosenblatt; and Jo Wagner and husband Stuart Ainsley plus numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and devoted life-long friends.

Ben received his Bachelor's degree from the University of Texas and his Masters degree from Trinity University, after which he spent many years as a Northeast ISD school psychologist and more recently counseling residents at geriatric care centers. He had a special talent for connecting with the young and the old.

Ben was a devoted father and tiki enthusiast. He was happiest when he was playing at Cathedral Park; hiking and mountain biking near the family cabin in the Colorado Rockies; and canoeing Canadian rivers at Camp Wabun.

He will be deeply missed by his friends, family, and all those whose lives he touched.

A celebration of Ben's life will be held on Sunday, February 28, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. in Cathedral Park at the Bishop Jones Center, 111 Torcido Dr. San Antonio, TX 78209. This is an outdoor service, please wear appropriate shoes.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to his Children's Educational Fund at Ugift529.com, using code W1B-UOL (this fund is for the benefit of both children).
