Palie, Benjamin Matthew 

Benjamin Matthew Palie was born March 5, 1980, in Santa Barbara, California, 
and he grew up in Canton, Massachusetts. Benjamin is survived by his loving 
parents, Mark Palie of Tucson, Arizona, and Cynthia McGowan of Titusville, 
Florida. Ben is also survived by his stepfather, Brian McGowan of Titusville, 
Florida. He will be extremely missed by his brother, Eric Palie, and 
sister-in-law, Kimberly Palie, of Show Low, Arizona; and his sister, Sarah 
Pressley, and brother-in-law, Patrick Pressley, of Littleton, Colorado. Ben's 
loving relationship with his girlfriend, Jessica Newman of Longview, will 
live on as a positive influence in her life. Ben had resided in Longview 
since March 2006, and he was employed by Cheddar's Restaurant as a manager. 
He lived and worked in Dallas for a short time before moving to Longview, and 
he had lived in Tallahassee, Florida, from 1999-2005. Ben attended Tallahassee 
Community College for a short time and worked as a manager at Tia's Tex Mex 
Restaurant. Ben enjoyed making the people around him smile. He lived his life 
as a loving and generous person and made an effort to be a positive influence 
on those around him. In the near term, Ben aspired to be a general manager at 
Cheddar's Restaurant. His dream had always been to be a pediatrician, and he 
was revisiting that aspiration as a long-term goal. Ben will be missed by all 
who knew him, and he will not be forgotten. The family will receive friends 
from 6-8 p.m. this evening, Friday, September 1, 2006, in the Chapel of Rader 
Funeral Home of Longview at 1617 Judson Road. A memorial guestbook may be 
signed online at www.raderfh.com.
