It is with sadness that we report the passing last night of Davis “Ben” Roush, Jr. Ben was a Sr. Radiation Protection Technician at the South Texas Project. Prior to joining STP, Ben had more than 15 years experience in the nuclear power industry and in handling HP assignments for the U.S. Department of Energy.

Sad indeed; In his passing goes a man of true integrity and character. Rest easy Ben.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Ben for his whole Nuclear Career. To know Ben is to have known a truly unique individual. He had some funny stories, and was always willing to help out a brother, or sister tech. I was able to recently be at STP and went to his house to watch the Gators play, he was a great host. I will always cherish the fun times we had.
You will be missed brother.

Ben was a true friend and will be missed. I started working with him back in the (ARC) days. We had some good times @ STP and Battelle.
He will be truly missed;

Sad news, indeed. Another one of the good guys gone.
Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives
Raise a beer to a good friend and a good life. Love lives in our memories of Big Ben.

I was sad to hear about Ben. I worked for Ben in Columbus as a Decon Tech and Decon Lead. RIP Ben! My sympathies go out to your family. As far as Rolex goes, that was the best frisbee catching dog I had ever seen.

I've known Ben for over 25 years, Ben was a College buddy, trailer trash buddy and my shift partner for years. One thing for certain Ben would always have you laughing about something he did or something that happened to him. We all have a story we can tell about him, that is how he wanted to be remembered. Ben will be remembered in a celebration of life on Friday January 30th at 4:00 in Baycity TX. Those who can't be there take a moment and toast a good friend. Remember when those Gators win it again there will be someone with a big smile on his face because he told you so.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fgo-5qLzGyU
