ATLANTA, GA — The Westminster Schools and the greater Georgia community are mourning the loss of Benjamin “Ben” Townsend Mosteller, a devoted educator, husband, and father whose compassion and faith inspired everyone around him. Ben passed away on October 29, 2025, at the age of 39, following a courageous battle with brain cancer.
Born and raised in northwest Georgia, with family roots in Dalton and Chatsworth, Ben’s life was defined by service, faith, and love — values that guided his relationships, teaching, and community involvement.
SUPPORT THE FAMILY - GOD BLESS YOU
A respected history teacher and coach at The Westminster Schools in Atlanta, Ben brought history to life with an enthusiasm that made lasting impressions on generations of students. His lessons blended curiosity and empathy, encouraging young minds to view history not merely as the past, but as a guide for building a better future.
Holding a master’s degree in history from the College of Charleston, Ben’s intellectual passion was matched by a deep humility and joy for life. His classroom was known for its energy, humor, and sense of belonging — a reflection of his belief that education should nurture both the mind and the heart.
Outside of school, Ben’s kindness reached far beyond campus walls. He was a dedicated community volunteer and the friend everyone could count on — the one who showed up, listened without judgment, and offered quiet encouragement when it was most needed.
At home, Ben found his greatest happiness with his wife, Leslie, and their two daughters, Ada and Mae. His family was his center — a place of laughter, storytelling, and unshakable faith. Those closest to him describe a man whose life radiated love, gratitude, and grace even in the face of hardship.
A celebration of life for Ben Mosteller will be held on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at Trinity Anglican Church in Atlanta, with arrangements managed by Peeples Funeral Home & Crematory of Chatsworth.
In keeping with Ben’s lifelong dedication to learning and family, the Mosteller family encourages donations to a scholarship fund in his name at The Westminster Schools or to Ada and Mae’s college savings plan, continuing his legacy of education and hope for the future.
