To anyone that knew Ben (BJ) Hartsburg knew that he loved his family big. No doubt the ones that went before him were waiting for him as he entered Heaven. A joyous reunion.

Ben was only 44 years old and his body has been failing for many years. That didn’t stop him from trying to live as independent as possible. He passed from this life on March 31, 2026

His brother, Nathan, has already buried his mom, dad, and sister and now has lovingly accepted the responsibility of taking care of Ben’s final wishes. Ben has a burial plot available to him where he will be laid to rest next to his mom. Nathan wants to give Ben a respectful service that celebrates who he was and how much he was loved. However, the cost of the funeral expenses has created a financial challenge.

To help cover these costs, we’ve started a GoFundMe. Any contribution, no matter the size, would mean so much.
