Obituary published on Legacy.com by Downs Funeral Home - Superior on May 31, 2024.
Benjamin R. McLain, 38, of Superior died unexpectedly on Wednesday, May 29, 2024.
Ben was born June 19, 1985, in Cloquet, MN to Dee (Blunt) and Brian McLain.
He was employed at various places over the years and always liked to keep busy. Ben was a jack of all trades and master of none.
He loved the outdoors hunting and fishing with his family and friends, ice fishing was his favorite, and always drilled more holes than necessary. Ben loved to cut wood and would often supply family neighbors and friends with firewood – it was therapy for him and a good workout.
His son Skyler was his pride and joy. Ben was a very caring man that always put other people's needs before his own. He will be remembered for his strong opinions, his caring heart, and the love he gave to others.
Ben was preceded in death by his father, Brian McLain.
Survivors include his son, Skyler McLain; the mother of Skyler, Ashley LaFlamme; his mother, Dee Diler; his stepmother, Angie McLain; his siblings, Isaac (Hannah) McLain, Amanda McLain, Lyndsey (Chase) Raudebaugh and Nick McLain; many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles.
A celebration of life will be held on Monday, June 3, 2024 from 1-5 pm at the Eagles Club, 1710 N 12th Street, Superior, WI.
