We’re sad to report the loss of a coworker, friend, husband, and huge Preds fan.
Ben Butzbach was a part of Penalty Box Radio on our sister station 102.5 The Game, and obviously the biggest Preds fan we’ve ever met. He passed away early this week. The cause of his death is unknown.
If you’ve ever been to a Preds game, chances are you’ve seen Ben. He was a hardcore fan and loved supporting his team. Even a couple years ago I posted on my blog on how he proposed to his wife in the most badass way possible.
I’m heartbroken for his wife, his family, and friends close to him. We’ll never forget his dedication and spirit. Read the entire story from FOX 17 here.
