Benjamin Louis Junion, 23, of West Jacksonport, was called Home to be with the Lord, Friday afternoon, July 20, 2018 while in the loving arms of his family at home. He was born June 22, 1995 in Green Bay, the son of James Anthony Junion and Arlene Sara (Giesseman) Junion. Ben is a member of Zion Ev.
Lutheran Church in West Jacksonport and attended Zion Lutheran School through 8th grade. He graduated from Sevastopol High School in 2014 and went on to study accounting at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College where he earned his associates degree. Ben was co-owner (with his brother, Jacob) and manager of Junion Sport Fishing.
Ben had a passion for hunting and fishing and had many successful hunting trips. He took pride in his monster buck, black bear, and many turkeys. Ben also enjoyed supporting his siblings, other relatives, and friends at their baseball, softball games and other athletic events.
He enjoyed attending DCL baseball games every Sunday and supported the Egg Harbor Indians. He also liked participating in trivia games and made everyone watch and compete in Jeopardy nightly. His quick wit and humor will be missed by all.
