In Loving Memory of Bernardas (Ben) Buta

It is with the deepest sadness that we share that our beloved Bernardas “Ben” Buta has passed away after his courageous battle with stage 4 glioblastoma. Ben faced every challenge with incredible strength, kindness, and that unforgettable smile that brought light to everyone around him.

He leaves behind his loving wife and two beautiful children, who cared for him with endless love and devotion throughout his illness. The family is now facing not only the heartbreak of losing him but also the significant costs that come with arranging his funeral and settling essential expenses in the weeks ahead.

We are continuing this GoFundMe to help Ben’s family with:

Funeral and memorial service costs

Ongoing household and living expenses

Support for his wife and children as they adjust to life without him

Ben had the biggest heart — he loved deeply, made people laugh, and always found a way to lift others even in his hardest moments. His passion for skulls, his love of Halloween, and his joyful, positive energy will always be remembered by everyone who was lucky enough to know him.

If you are able to contribute, please know that every donation, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference for Ben’s family as they navigate this painful time. Even sharing this page helps immensely.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for your love, support, and compassion.

With love and gratitude,

Egilija and the Buta Family
