Obituary of Benjamin Daniel Epple

Benjamin Daniel Epple, 20, of Palm Bay, Florida passed away Thursday, September 5, 2019, with his loving family by his side. Ben was born on July 6, 1999, in Wisconsin to Barbara Gresl and Gary Epple, Jr. He attended Slinger High School in WI and Palm Bay High School in FL, graduating in 2017. He spent most of his life in Slinger, WI. Ben had many, many friends and loved to hang out, play sports, ride bikes, play video games and tease his kitty cats. Ben touched the lives of many people with his quiet and gentle ways. He was always protecting those that needed help the most, be it people or pets, Ben was your superhero! As a young child, he loved all the superheroes…Superman, Batman, Spiderman, and The Incredible Hulk. He usually wore a superhero costume under his everyday clothing…just in case. I remember vividly how he would make these crazy guttural noises, fall down and roll on the floor into another room only to emerge as the Incredible Hulk, purple pants and all. LOL!!! Ben’s first job was at Panera Bread in Palm Bay, FL then he went on to customer service positions in Melbourne, FL. Most recently he had aspirations of becoming a jeweler. He loved gold and gems. Ben could have become anything he put his heart into. Ben loved fashion, clothing, accessories, and shoes…very nice shoes. He always looked great, ALWAYS! Ben was the best hugger around. Every time we saw each other..there were hugs..lots of hugs! Ben will be missed by many family and friends. I don’t believe he really had any idea of the number of lives he touched and the pure awesomeness of who he was. Ben was the gold he was seeking… A Celebration of Life service will be held in Ben’s honor on Sunday, October 13, 2019, in Hartford Wisconsin. The Celebration of Life will be from 1 pm-4 pm.
