Benjamin Jacob Hungness was born August 16, 1981, in Harvey, Illinois, to Erling and Kathryn Hungness. To his best friend, Faith Robb, he was affectionately “Beba,” a nickname that reflected years of unwavering loyalty, laughter, trust and love. To countless others, he was “Benjamin the Badass” — a name that perfectly captured the fearless, generous and fiercely loyal way he lived. Though our hearts are broken by his passing, we find comfort in believing Benjamin is finally at peace. Family, friends, and all whose lives Benjamin touched are warmly invited to come together to laugh, cry, share stories and celebrate this remarkable man.
