Benjamin Meyers

Benjamin 'Ben' Meyers passed away in his mother's arms Dec 31, 2024 at the young age of 36.
Ben was born in Kingston, NY in May 1988. He grew up in Hurley, NY enjoying the outdoors and getting into adventures. As a young boy, Ben had a vivid imagination. He would craft stories for hours in his room playing with playmobiles and wrestling action figures. In 1996, the family moved to Williston, Vermont. He graduated from Champlain Valley Union High School in 2004 and from Vermont Tech in 2008.
Ben's life was filled with friends. A true people person, he was a thoughtful, compassionate, and loving young man who excelled in listening and encouraging others. He was genuine and confident. His exuberance and cheeky jokes would often lighten the mood of a room. He welcomed everyone with an open mind and an open heart.
Those who knew Ben will remember him for his infectious smile and twinkling blue eyes. He had a rare gift for making others smile and laugh, leaving a lasting impact on all who crossed his path. Ben loved to read (Game of Thrones was one of his favorites). He enjoyed music, hiking, and trivia. He had a passion for sports and would relay statistics at the drop of a hat while watching TV with his father.
In Jan 2021, Ben was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor. Through all his trials and tribulations, he exemplified grace, taking on each challenge with a smile and determination. He was loved by so many in the medical field as he endured countless tests and hospital stays. A huge thank you to the UVM Home Health Team that supported him through years of treatment, the Hospice team for his end-of-life care and the numerous doctors and nurses that never gave up on him.
Ben was predeceased by his father Steve. He is survived by his mother JoAnne and his brother Zachary. He also leaves behind his grandmother, aunts, uncles and cousins who adored him dearly. His passing has left a void in the hearts of his family, friends, and the many whose lives were touched by him.
A Celebration of Life will be planned at a later date. In lieu of flowers Ben would prefer you donate to https://www.rawoodfoundation.org/ or St Judes. Thank you to all that knew and loved Ben and helped make his life special.
