Benjamin E. Noffke

Benjamin “Ben” E. Noffke, age 39 of Minneapolis, passed away of natural causes at his residence on Wednesday, January 8, 2025. He was born in Neenah, WI on June 14, 1985 to Gregory and Sandra (Metz) Noffke.

Ben was a proud graduate of Winneconne High School. His thirst for knowledge led him to St. Norbert College, where he earned his Political Science degree in 2008. Subsequently, he obtained his law degree from St. Thomas Law School in Minneapolis, MN in 2011 and was a member of the State Bar of Wisconsin. Ben’s dedication to his studies was matched only by his passion for the outdoors and his love for adventure.

 He cherished the moments spent deer hunting with his father, embracing the thrill of the hunt surrounded by nature. His love for fishing and boating reflected his deep appreciation for the water, while his adventurous spirit found joy in snowboarding. An avid reader, Ben could often be found immersed in a good book, constantly seeking new perspectives and experiences. His loyal companion, Chester, his beloved English bulldog, was always by his side, providing comfort and companionship.

Ben is survived by his parents, Gregory (Erin Abercrombie) Noffke and Sandra (Steve) Halron; grandmothers, Marion Noffke and Rose Metz; sister, Natalie (Keith Tillmann) Noffke; niece, Calliope. He is further survived by aunts, uncles and cousins.
