We Remember

LEGAULT, Benjamin Travis – Service Info Updated

Sunrise: August 24, 1989 –  Sunset: July 17, 2025

The sun has set on the life of our beloved Ben. He has left this earthly world to travel to a better place and time. A place where he is healthy and strong, free of pain and anguish.

Ben was known and loved for his long dark hair, wearing colourful bandanas and rock band t-shirts. At 15 years old, he acquired a brain injury from a tragic dirt bike accident that left him with permanent disabilities, it sadly changed his life forever. He carried the disability with grace and wore it like a badge. He truly showed what it meant to be resilient, to love and to live with purpose even through unimaginable challenges.

Ben had such a passion for music from the 70s. An ‘old soul’, he loved Black Sabbath, Metallica, and Jimi Hendrix. His friends called him “Bendrix” because he had 7 guitars and played like a rock star.

Ben had many talents through the years, he taught himself to play guitar and keyboard, tie flies for fishing, tie-dying t-shirts, and taking sunset pictures over Okanagan Lake. In grade 10, he crafted a wooden bench and made chain mail armour that hung in the window of the high school.

Ben loved to laugh and chat with people, experience new things, visit new places, leaving a positive impression and inspiration to anyone he met.

He is now together with the ones that have gone before him, including his dad Bob, and brother Jeff.

Ben leaves behind his mom Anita; stepdad Kevin; and brothers Ryan and Connor.

Loved and missed by so many, he will remain in our hearts and memories forever.

Rock on Benny!
