Benjamin Abram Steigner

Benjamin Abram Steigner was born in Daytona Beach, Florida on September 16th, 1980. He graduated from Maranatha Christian Academy of Tallahassee in 2001. Ben then attended Emmaus Bible College in Dubuque, Iowa before transferring to FSU where he graduated with a degree in Religion and Classical studies. Ben and Monica Hong married in 2013 in Saranac Lake, NY. They both taught at Yongsan International School of Seoul, South Korea. Ben taught Theology, Ethics, Values, and Speech for 6 years at a high school level. Ben and Monica then taught in Riyad and Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia. Before returning home, Ben and Monica lived and taught high school studies in the UAE for 3 years. In 2020, Ben and Monica returned to Tallahassee to teach. At the time of their death, Ben taught at Community Christian School and Monica was employed as an Accessibility Specialist at Florida State University. Ben was a Youth Pastor at Four Oaks Church of Tallahassee during his last year of study at FSU. He also was a Praise and Worship leader while attending his church in Seoul, South, Korea and led praise and worship at their most current church home, Incarnation Anglican in Tallahassee. Ben is remembered for his generosity. He had a deep conviction to intercede and provide for those in need. He once gave his shoes away to a homeless man while driving home from high school. Ben was committed to expressing in his own life through the Biblical ethic of sacrifice, forgiveness, honesty, and integrity. He was well read with works of John Piper, C.S. Lewis, Charles Spurgeon, Augustine, and Malcolm Gladwell. Perhaps the best-known character trait of Ben Steigner was his wit and humor. All of us here could compile a hilarious comedy routine with anecdotal stories of “Ben's most outrageous moments”. Mostly Ben is known as an abiding and loving son, brother, uncle, and friend. Survivors include his parents John and Sharon as well as his brothers John Martin, Timothy, and Joshua. The families of Ben and his wife Monica Hong will be receiving guests for a visitation at Four Oaks Church on Friday, July 12, 2024 at 10:00AM with a funeral service to follow at 11:00AM.
