Benjamin Aikey Obituary
Benjamin had a deep appreciation for the outdoors and found joy in fishing and working with horses. His love for nature was matched by a gift for storytelling, captivating those around him with tales that brought laughter and warmth.
He is survived by his wife, Rhonda Aikey; mother, Patty Aikey Belisle; brother, Seth Belisle; and son, Christopher Aikey. Benjamin also shared a special bond with his bonus family: Michelle Tippelt, Kristen Williams, and Kevin Pitts. He cherished his grandchildren-Jamie Czajkowski, Kaleb Bagby, Madison Swanson, Lance Pitts, and Wyatt Pitts-as well as his great-grandchildren, Luke Swanson and Payzley Czajkowski. His loyal dog, Dude, was a cherished companion.
Benjamin was preceded in death by his father, John Wayne Aikey; maternal grandparents Robert and Corrine Ferguson; paternal grandparents Mary and Wayne Aikey; and grandson Beau Pitts.
May Benjamin's memory bring comfort to those who knew him.
