Ben was born February 8, 1985 in Forsyth County to Michael “Kenny” Sigmon and the late Carol Lutz “Callie” Sigmon. Ben loved animals, gardening, cooking, and being in nature; mountains or the beach – he just enjoyed being there. He was the “king of corny jokes”.

He is survived by his father, Kenny Sigmon; brothers, Kenneth “Lance” Sigmon and wife Tatum, Joshua Michael Sigmon, and Jeremy Alan Sigmon and wife Jessica; nephews, Evan Sigmon, Chase Sigmon, and Brody Sigmon; and nieces, Mayson Lail, and Alexia Sigmon. Also surviving is his grandmother, Carol Lutz; uncles, Rusty Lutz and wife Cindy, Dale Lutz, Todd Lutz and wife Diane, and Rick Duckworth; aunts, Beth Bowman and husband Larry, and Jan Sorrells and husband Danny; and numerous loving cousins and extended family.
