Benjamin McLellan Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Aurora-McCarthy Funeral Home, Inc. - Colchester on Mar. 23, 2026.
Benjamin James McLellan, of Lebanon, passed away on March 14, 2026. Born on November 2, 1990, Ben graduated from Lyman Memorial High School in 2009 and afterward attended Manchester Community College. After high school he began working in production, sales and development in the cannabis and hemp industry, residing in Maine and in several locales in the West.

Ben enjoyed being outdoors and rarely passed up an opportunity to explore. He often spent time outside with his dog and traveled extensively around the country, often with friends. Two of his favorite places to visit were the lakes around Forest City, Maine, and the mountains of Colorado. He especially looked forward to fishing and bird hunting trips, appreciating the quiet, the scenery, and the time they allowed him to spend with others. Some of his most memorable moments were the days spent in Maine with his family, where fishing, conversation, and the natural surroundings made for time well spent together.

Ben will be sadly missed but always remembered with love by his parents Phillip McLellan and Jan Fitter of Lebanon; his fiancé Saunita "Sunnie" Greene and her family; numerous extended family members and friends; and, not least, his canine traveling companion OG.
