Benjamin Hahs

Benjamin "Benji" Kyle Hahs, 44, of Jackson went home to be with Jesus on Thursday, April 6, 2023, at Barnes- Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, surrounded by his loving family.

He was born Sept. 25, 1978, in Cape Girardeau to Randy Hahs and Earlene Cox Hahs-Gill.

He was an avid St. Louis Cardinals fan and country music lover. He loved nature, traveling, gardening, grilling and making hot sauces. Benji and his twin brother had an unbreakable bond that included breaking rules, jumping in creeks and going to concerts. More than anything, he enjoyed spending time with his son, Hayden. He was the most loving, kind and giving person there ever was.

He attended Connection Point Church in Jackson.

Survivors include his father, Randy Hahs of Cape Girardeau; mother, Earlene (Steve) Gill of Saint Louis; son, Hayden Hahs of Jackson; twin brother, Jeremy (Becky) Hahs of Murfreesboro, Tennessee; and several nieces and nephews, Christopher Hahs, Kaitlyn Hahs, Chloe Hahs, Kiley (Sammy) Jessie, Elizabeth McHughs, Zachary McHughs and Hunter (Jolie) McHughs.

Visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 12, at Ford and Sons Jackson Funeral Home, 708 W. Main St. in Jackson.

Funeral service will be at 1 p.m. Thursday, April 13, at the funeral home, with the Revs. Rick Hensley and Zack Strong officiating. Burial will be at Cape County Memorial Park Cemetery in Cape Girardeau.
