Benjamin Greidanus, 37, of Emmett, Kansas, passed away at the age of 37. Born with a deep appreciation for the outdoors, Benjamin found his greatest joy in hunting, fishing, and spending quiet moments in nature. He will be remembered for his kind heart and the gentle humor that brightened the days of those around him.

Benjamin is survived by his mother, Debra Greidanus; his sister, Veronica (Krystof) Paidosh; his brother, Jacob Greidanus; and many beloved aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews who will forever cherish his memory.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents Jacob (Pauline) Greidanus and Glen (Fay) Stock; his father, David Greidanus; his uncle, Sam Greidanus; and his cousin, Dustin Greidanus.

Benjamin’s family and friends will remember him for his warmth, his kindness, and his easygoing spirit—seen most in the simple moments he shared with those he loved. His absence leaves an ache in the hearts of all who loved him, but his memory will continue to guide and comfort them.

A rosary will be recited for Benjamin at 6:00 PM on Thursday, December 11 at The Immaculata, 701 N. 2nd St. in St. Marys. A low requiem Mass will be offered at 11:00 AM on Friday, December 12, also at The Immaculata, followed by burial in Our Lady of Peace cemetery.
