Benjamin Joseph Biery, age 46, of Toledo, passed away March 6, 2019. He was born March 1, 1973 in Toledo to Don and Judith (Porter) Biery. Ben was employed with the Toledo Hospital for more than 25 years.
Ben had a heart for the Lord and has served in many capacities in the different churches he had been a part of in his life: Harvest Christian Assembly, Vision Ministries and most recently, Vineyard Church. Ben always served with a smile and did many behind the scenes details that many never knew about.
Ben enjoyed playing the keyboard and often could be heard at home practicing something he learned by ear. He had played on the worship team at Vision Ministries and served on their pastoral team. Ben recently jumped in and helped serve in any capacity needed at Vineyard Church where he and his wife were now attending.
Ben enjoyed traveling when he could with his family and wife and had an appreciation for nature and enjoyed spending time in it.
Ben is survived by his wife, Dawn Biery; parents Don and Judith Biery; aunts, Carol (Larry) Albertson and Barbara Biery; sisters-in-law, Denise Wells and Deanna (Pat) Michalak; nieces, Michelle Connors, Shelby Michalak; nephew, Parker Michalak; cousins, Larry (Liz) Albertson, Jeff (Sherrie) Alberston, Darin (Cynthia) Albertson, Cherie Beitz, Shannon (Deward) White and Todd (Chris) Biery.
