Mr. Benjamin Franklin “Ben” Dunaway, Sr., age 81 of Armuchee, Georgia joined his beloved wife and his Savior on Saturday, July 18, 2026.
A native of Armuchee, Mr. Dunaway was born on February 25, 1945, son of the late Richard Willis “Bill” Dunaway, Sr. and Eddie Mae Rosson Dunaway. He was a member of the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church and was retired from the Floyd County Board of Education. Mr. Dunaway was a devoted husband and caretaker to his wife, and was a devoted father and grandfather to his family. He had a great sense of humor; enjoyed working, was a state licensed plumber, great electrician and avid gardener, but there was nothing better than spending time with his family. Mr. Dunaway’s love, dedication and care for Becky was a true inspiration to others and a testament to the love and sacrifice of a religion based marriage.
In addition to his parents, Mr. Dunaway was preceded in death by his wife, Becky Holcomb Dunaway on July 1, 2026; son, Willis Eugene Dunaway; twin granddaughters, Madeline Grace and Kateline Belle Dunaway; sisters, Ida Lee Dunaway Montgomery and Sara Ann Dunaway Terry; brothers, John Dunaway, Walton “Dugan” Dunaway, Richard Dunaway and Henry Dunaway.
Mr. Dunaway is survived by a son and daughter-n-law, Benji and Shelly Dunaway; grandsons, Mason Dunaway and Benjamin Franklin Dunaway, III; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, William Joe and Judy Holcomb; and a number of nieces and nephews.

The Trion Bulldogs baseball team has started off hot this season after compiling a 9-3 record and are currently ranked 7th in the state in their classification according to Prep Baseball Georgia.
Tonight the Bulldogs will play a pivotal game at home against the visiting Bowdon Red Devils that will go a long way in deciding the region 7-A championship. Trion has started off region play 2-0 after last week’s 15-1 victory on the road at Manchester and a 16-1 victory on the road at Mount Zion. Meanwhile, Bowdon is 2-1 in region play after defeating Manchester 16-0 and splitting two games with Mount Zion, winning game one 5-4 and losing game two 4-3.
These two teams are certainly no stranger to each other. Bowdon narrowly defeated Trion 2 games to 1 in the three game championship series last year. Trion and Bowdon were picked by many to be the top two teams in the region again this year.
Come out and support the Bulldogs and watch some great high school baseball tonight at Trion High School. The game will start at 5:30 pm. Gate admission will be $7 and Trion High School students will be admitted free.
