He is survived by his sister, Yvonne Rene (Kehoe) Ramirez; uncles, Bill (Pam) Kehoe, Mike Kehoe, Jeff Kehoe, Carl (Paula) Serra; and his aunts, Jackie Sova and Katie (Mike) Schleppi; and many, many cousins. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Tuesday, August 23, at 10 a.m. at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church, 20 E. Dominion Blvd., Columbus, OH. 43214. Friends and former co-workers of Ben are welcome. Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers donations in honor of Ben may be made to www.save.org.

I spoke with Ben on FaceBook one day and this is how I met my third cousin. I was impressed with this man as he had wonderful things to say about everyone we spoke of in our family.

Ben, you are too young to leave us. I am honored to have known you. Young man, catch the nearest cloud and fly high Ben. Until the day we meet again, go with love.
