Benjamin G. Boonstra, age 25 of Wayne, died tragically on Thursday, August 8, 2015. He was a resident of Wayne, living in Packanack Lake.
Ben graduated from Passaic County Technical High School with the class of 2008 and began working at Sicomac Dairy, his family’s business. He was a milkman, delivering milk on a daily route before taking a job two years ago with Brand X-Cavating, driving trucks and moving equipment for them in the Wayne area.
Ever since he was a young boy, Ben loved anything with wheels on it. He was introduced to dirt bikes when he was a young boy and that soon became his passion. He loved going riding with his brother, Brian, at the Englishtown MX track, in Pennsylvania, or right at home on the family farm in Wayne. As his skills improved, he upgraded his bikes. His Yamaha YZ 250 and KTM 500 exc were his favorite rides!
As a young boy Ben enjoyed summer vacations with his family on LBI at the Jersey Shore, and boating on Lake George. Ben enjoyed Lake George so much he continued to go there as a young man with his friends and brother camping at Rogers Rock on a regular basis. Ben surrounded himself with loyal friends who would agree that Ben could always make them laugh with his dry and witty sense of humor. His brother, Brian, was his best friend and they did just about everything together. His family and friends will all miss him dearly.
Ben is survived by his loving parents; Richard and Jill Boonstra of Wayne, his brother Brian of Wayne, his aunt; Dolores Boonstra of Michigan, his uncle; Rudolph Boonstra, Jr. and Andrea of Wyckoff, his aunt; Barbara Moore and her husband David of Midway, Utah, his uncles; Roger Morrison and his wife Andrea of Virginia and Scott Morrison and his wife Lori of Houston, Texas, and his aunt; Jan Ramjerdi of Ringwood. He was predeceased by all of his grandparents.
