 Benjamin James was born on August 25, 1985, to Bryan and Brenda (Busch) Hellerman in Alexandria. He was baptized and confirmed at St. William’s Catholic Church. He graduated from Parkers Prairie High School in 2004 and continued his education at Wadena Tech, studying electrical construction, graduating in 2006. During high school and college, he worked with Roy Olson Farms in Parkers Prairie. After college, Ben began his electrical career in the area and later joined Berd Electric in Sartell, where he was serving as an electrical supervisor. On April 21, 2012, Ben was united in marriage to Amber Anderson at First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Parkers Prairie. To this union, two beautiful children were born, Aubree and Tucker. Together, they purchased a home in Sauk Centre in 2013 and built their forever home in rural Sauk Centre in 2019. Ben was a former member of St. William’s Catholic Church and a member of St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Sauk Centre. His hobbies included tinkering with anything he could work on in the shed, racing, snowmobiling, farming, four-wheeling, and spending time on the lake.
