Benjamin George Korman, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and dedicated servant to his community, passed away peacefully on March 8, 2026, in Arlington, Texas, after courageously living for 19 years with Parkinson’s disease. He was 73 years old.

Ben was born on February 22, 1953, in Scranton, Pennsylvania, to Roman Korman and Anastasia Finiw Korman. Raised with strong values of compassion, service, and perseverance, these principles guided the course of his life and career. He pursued higher education at Penn State, where he earned his bachelor’s degree, and later received his master’s degree in social work from Louisiana State University.

For more than four decades, Ben devoted his professional life to helping others. A gifted and deeply compassionate clinical social worker, he provided psychotherapy to children, adolescents, couples, families, and individuals across many settings. His thoughtful guidance, steady presence, and genuine empathy made a profound difference in the lives of countless people. For over 25 years, he maintained a successful private practice where he continued his lifelong commitment to healing, listening, and supporting those in need.

Ben’s dedication to service extended well beyond his profession. He was an active and valued member of his community, volunteering as a coach, referee, and board member with the Arlington Soccer Association and serving on the North Texas Soccer Association disciplinary committee. On and off the field, he believed in fairness, encouragement, and the power of mentorship.

A man of many interests, Ben was an enthusiastic participant in local 5K and 10K races, eventually competing in masters track meets. He found joy in staying active, whether running, golfing, snow skiing, or simply enjoying the outdoors. He was also an avid golfer and loved playing the guitar, often finding peace and expression through music.

Yet above all his accomplishments and passions, Ben’s greatest devotion was always to his family. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, and grandfather whose kindness, humor, and quiet strength shaped the lives of those closest to him. His family was the center of his world, and he took immense pride in the life they built together.

Ben is preceded in death by his parents, Roman and Anastasia Korman, and his brother, Myron Korman, all of Pennsylvania.

He is survived by his beloved 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 through the many lives he touched throughout his remarkable life.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that those who wish to honor Ben’s memory consider making a memorial contribution to the The Parkinson's Foundation or to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, causes that support continued research and assistance for those affected by Parkinsons disease.

Ben will be remembered for his compassion, his integrity, and the quiet but powerful way he cared for others. His legacy is one of service, resilience, and deep love for family—a life truly well lived.
