R.I.P. Ben Jones

[Boss JD Hogg]

Ben Jones passed away today August 9, 2026.  It’s a sad day for Dukes Of Hazzard fans and Ben’s family.  My prayers are with Ben and his family.

Just heard the sad news, a few hours ago. From my oldest brother, who him, and my other 2 brothers, gave me my nickname years ago. Cooter! Cuz i tinkered with anything car related. From probably 4 years old . From hotwheels to hubcaps and old vehicles. Im 42 now.  Nickname means more to me now. As Cooter/Ben Jones, always went out of his way, to help those in need.I live by that rule also.We were raised that way. The RIGHT,and HONEST way.  Respect for your elders, treat others the way , you would want to be treated….and be a decent human being……. We did lose a legend. But as the ol sayin goes…legends never die! Say hi to uncle Jesse and the others for me that we lost. Enjoy a peaceful rest Ben Jones. “I might be crazy, but i aint dumb….,Crazy Cooter comin atcha!”      Its not goodbye, its so long. We’ll meet again on the other side.

Like the ghost of Babe Ruth told Benny in The Sandlot "Heroes get remembered. But legends never die." ❤️
