Benji's smile illuminated the entire room, his laughter made everyone else start laughing, his singing filled our home with everything from country western to heavy metal songs, his dancing made everyone else want to get up and dance and he gifted us with his exquisite art work. He was proud of his construction work, top player video gaming status, and perfected grilling recipes. He took care of stray, injured animals and gave everything he was able to homeless persons. He unwaveringly persevered to make life more fun, joyful, and happy. He is loved and remembered with a smile innumerable times each day.

Benjiman was preceded in death by his father, Donald Lalko; grandparents, Casimir and Mary Lalko; William and Joan Borowski.

Those left behind to cherish Benjiman’s memory are the mother of his children, Ashley Dupre; daughter, Alexis Lalko; son, Blake Lalko; their brother, Caleb Matthews; grandchildren, Gideon Aldape and Sage Aldape; mother, Rosanne Lalko; and sister, Angela Lalko.
