Ben was born in Kansas City, Missouri on March 16, 1981 to Ronald Heuwinkel and Diane (Theulen) Heuwinkel. Growing up, he was the youngest of three siblings, including Jason and Andy. After graduating high school, Ben served his country in the United States Army. He was very proud of his military service. However, Ben's passion in life lied with his work as a mechanic. More than just a career, Ben's ability to build a motorcycle or car from the ground up was a gift.

Ben was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Harold F. Heuwinkel; paternal uncle, Gary D. Heuwinkel; maternal grandfather, Raymond E. Theulen; and maternal grandmother, Evelyn M. Theulen.

He is survived by his father, Ronald H. Heuwinkel (Robin) of Council Bluffs, IA; mother, Diane Heuwinkel; daughter, Shelbi Rae; girlfriend Tiffani Vohs; two brothers, Jason Heuwinkel and Andy Heuwinkel (Jennifer); step sister, Nicole Woodson (Patrick); paternal grandmother, Lois Heuwinkel; many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins; and his best friend, Scotty.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be given to the family for Ben's newborn daughter, Shelbi Rae.
