Benjamin Philip Chaffee, 24, of Ohioville went to Heaven to be in the arms of his Savior on September 17, 2021 after suffering a sudden cardiac arrest on September 15, 2021. Ben was a kind, patient, and hard-working young man, who was a true visionary.

Ben graduated from Beaver County Christian School and Community College of Beaver County. He was born, raised, and an active member of Fairview Presbyterian Church, Industry where he served as a steward.

At the age of 14, Ben started cutting grass for neighbors and friends which led to the start of his lawn care and landscaping business that he called “Chaffee Lawn Service”.

A country boy at heart, Ben had a love for family & friends, enjoyed riding his side by side, restoring old tractors and trucks, and driving his jacked pickup trucks and blowing black smoke. He was a talented auto body artist with an eye for detail and paint.

Ben was excited for his future and to be getting married to his best friend, Toni Lynn Smith. They were to become man & wife on October 9, 2021.
