On Friday, 12/13/2024, Ben was taken from his family. He was fired upon by an unknown shooter, who has been found Dead.
Ben was a bright light in this world that can sometimes seem so dim. He enjoyed spending time with his family and his two dogs – Jelly and Maddison. Though Ben thought he had a hard time connecting with people, he always found a way to help those around him. Ben had a memorable laugh, an infectious smile, and a heart big enough to change the world.
Ben’s infectious smile and love for life brightened every room he entered. He had a special bond with his dogs and always shared with me his dream of becoming a truck driver with his dog by his side. He achieved that dream, earning his CDL and starting his own business in both trucking and excavation. He even made time to come to Stay and snowplow our lot during the late hours.
Ben was always someone who prioritized the well-being of others, both people and animals.
