Ben loved skiing, rafting, camping, gardening, and anything that allowed him to be outdoors. Most importantly he loved his family. He loved spending every moment he could with them and had many “best friends.” He had a gregarious nature that always drew people in. He was a shining light for those he loved. His legendary hugs, and infectious smile will be missed greatly. Benjamin is survived by his brothers; Peter (Lek) Ralph (Kathy Tibbetts) and sisters; Dagma Lacey (Gary Ibsen) and Becky (Larry Oestreich.) His wife of 31 years Teresa, daughters; Linnea (Sean McColgin), and Lindsey (Isaac Heyn). Ben is preceded in death by his parents, Ralph and Marianne Tibbetts.
