Obituary
Benjamin Mathias Hatlevig
Benjamin Mathias Hatlevig passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 23, 2025.
Ben was born to Kjell Hatlevig and Cynthia Hutman in La Crosse, WI, on August 19, 1999.
In 26 years of life, Ben found the meaning of what it truly means to live. His faith and hope in God was his anchor through the mountains and the valleys of his life.
Ben greatly appreciated his mission trips to the Dominican Republic and to Panama. He talked animatedly of the ways that he was going to be a missionary in the life ahead of him.
One of his greatest treasures in his life was his marriage to his wife, Eve. With God at the center, together they stood and faced Ben’s health crisis. Through these months of his illness, Ben lived richer and deeper than ever. He always remained strong and kind.
Ben is survived by his wife Eve Hatlevig, father Kjell (Caroline) Hatlevig, mother Cindi (Keith) Hutman, sister Shelby Hatlevig, twin brother Arnold Hatlevig, Grandpa and Grandma Jerry and Nancy Hatlevig and Grandpa and Grandma David and Sandi Moser, along with aunts, uncles and cousins.
There will be a celebration of life service held on Friday, December 12th, 2025, at 1 PM, at The Gathering Place, 133 Mason St, in Onalaska, WI.

Dear Hatlevig Family,
Though I was never blessed to meet your beloved “Benny”, it was not hard to learn what a deeply spiritual man he was and devoted disciple of our Savior Jesus Christ. It was also evident how deeply he was loved by his family.
May you be blessed with continued peace and love,
Jan Sandoval ❤️
Thank you for your condolences. Its spelled “Bene”.
Dear Cindy,
We lack words to express how sad this is for you and your family. We were blessed to know Ben while at church in Onalaska. Ben was/is a great man. We want you to know that Ben is rejoicing with the host of angels and cheering you on. We pray for healing for you. We pray for comfort that only God can give. We pray for peace that surpasses every understanding. Accept our deepest condolences. Our sincere love to you and your family.

Ben was one of the most kind and caring men we’ve ever had the pleasure of getting to know. He was a blessing to our family, and he will be greatly missed by anyone who had the chance to get to know him.
Cindi and family, my deepest sympathy to all of you. Though Ben and I only met a couple of times, I feel I knew him for years. Watching his journey through pictures and posts, he was undoubtedly on fire for Jesus, and loved his family beyond words.
Allow yourselves time…and space…to grieve, remember, and even smile when he sends you a God-wink letting you know he’s okay. He’s beyond okay, he’s worshipping Jesus face to face!
I love you all, and pray for strength, knowing sometimes our healing comes through tears.
Love, Jenn
