Steven “Benny” Benson
Of Crystal Lake
Steve was born June 7, 1953 in Elgin to John and Ethel (nee Erickson) Benson. He passed away peacefully at his home March 14, 2017, surrounded by his loving family.
Steve was an owner of Quality Jig Grinding for 40 years. He was an avid sports fan who loved March Madness and his beloved Cubbies. The Cubs World Series win was the icing on the cake. Mostly Steve loved spending time with his family, especially his girls. He was a “glass half full” kind of guy who was born on a sunny day.
He is survived by his bride, Jeanne (nee Moriarty); whom he married September 13, 1980 in Crystal Lake; daughters, Sarah (Stefan) Shemaitis, Kristen Benson, and Anne (Jake Walkner) Benson; granddaughter Bryn and her soon to be baby sister; brothers, Scott (Maureen) Benson and Kurt (Linda) Benson; and sister, Linda Benson. Steve was preceded in death by his parents.
